ISLAMABAD: Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan unleashed allegations against President Asif Ali Zardari during a press briefing on Wednesday outside the parliament. He alleged that Zardari was using the public money to campaign for the next elections and is using ‘fake’ journalists for the purpose.
“I have proof with me. The people who were affected came to me with the proof. I don’t want to name anyone. It includes people from the media, some from agencies as well – the agencies which capture thieves,” he told the media.
“All I want to say is, that there is a cell in the President House which, under the supervision of Asif Ali Zardari, is siphoning off the money of the people of Pakistan. One particular agency is being used. The money will go into a revolving fund which will be used to campaign in the next elections,” he alleged.
Chaudhry Nisar also claimed that Zardari was siphoning off money with the help of some people who are posing as journalists, and billions of rupees are involved in this.
He further called for an independent audit of the advertisements being run for several government institutions.
“I am openly challenging Zardari to take me to court,” Chaudhry Nisar said.

PML-N deem itself the sole owner of Punjab, they think that Punjab is the land of their forefathers. PML-N is constantly manipulating against other provinces through Punjab. The rant of Chaudhry Nisar is just because of PPP stance to carve out new provinces. PML-N is failing to understand it is not the voice of PPP but of millions people who are facing animosity of PML-N as sole claimer of Punjab. PML-N has unleashed Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to launch a clandestine campaign against PPP leaders. If you could remember the verbal assault of PML-N on MQM few months ago, you will find out that PML-N leaders are mischievous. They ignite the fire and then try to prove them innocent. The tirade of Zardari against PML-N leaders is not invain.
who is this fellow that generates so many comments?
@Noorr: What about Haroon rasheed n Hasan Nisar? Who's using them.

“I am openly challenging Zardari to take me to court,” Chaudhry Nisar said.
YOU, Mr. Nisar, are accusing HIM of a crime. I think you are supposed to take him to court especially since you claim to have proof and everything.
Typical Pakistani politician tactice, make up whatever lies or story you feel like and then say "prove me wrong". "Zardari is a from Mars; prove me wrong; take me to court".
Look who is saying!!. The Champions of dirty politics!
Why don't you go to the courts directly?! or a formal complaint to the Election Commission? any formal legal action? no, you won't, because you don't do this out of good intentions. These are just cheap ploys before the elections. You also know they won't take you to the court, because once these things go to court; all sorts of skeletons will come out of closets from both sides.
Mr. Nisar is a strange character, he even does not work for Mian Nawaz Shareef sb., which is head of his party. He has his own agenda, or you can say that he always obey the instruction of state within a state’s orders. Soon people of Pakistan will see Mr. Nisar will join tsunami Khan.
Mr. Nisar and his party specializes in lies, and deceit. Over the years they have revolutionized and given new meanings to propaganda, fabrication, and mudslinging. You ask them any question, and I mean any totally irrelevant question, and their reply always starts with Zardari.
Noora Kushti.....arrghhhh
Previously, it was journalists and the owners of media houses. Now, it is "fake journalists", and agencies. Next, it would be just the agencies. And finally, when the truth comes out, it will be the Punjab Government.
“All I want to say is, that there is a cell in the President House which, under the supervision of Asif Ali Zardari, is siphoning off the money of the people of Pakistan."
It was your party, which earlier made similar claims regarding Khawaja Sharif Murder Conspiracy, and what was the truth? You and your party is corrupt to the core.
Ch Nisar is making mockery of himself with such statements, every now and then.
How any one can believe, without showing the list of those journalists, who were paid money by President as Election Campaign. Otherwise I will say it Disinformation as usual time to time by Ch.Nisar.Hamid Hassan Khan Lahore Cantt.
What about big big advertisment of Punjab Govt in every major newspaper ? Why tax payers money wasting on Sharif family publicity ?
“I am openly challenging Zardari to take me to court,” Chaudhry Nisar said.
dear Nisar the courts are Raiwing Courts, they cannot decide against you and that's why you are challanging openly
what a non sense :-
the paid journalists love to bash Zardari & PPP
Give him the petroleum ministry, he will be fine!
why u r using atta ul haq qasmi sana bucha irfan siddiqui mushtaq minhas and Geo tv
Ch nisar needs to read and understand the story about "The boy who cried wolf".
Yes u r right some of the people using the face of journalism and they are dictated, corrupt and morally down people.
Ch. Nisar is nowadays alive only on allegations. It is ch Nisar favourit hobby to level allegations so carry on otherwise he has noting to do.
Chaudhry Nisar comes up with wild allegations very often. Why he does not goes to the Courts with the proof he suppose to have. His statements and speeches are full of hate for people he does not like. Shame on the people like him and on the parties he represent.
So....???What you want us to do???
Everyone of u is corrupt
what about public fund used on laptops and loads of advertisements in newspapers??
Yet another trick of noorakushti with govt by the leader of opposition in National Assembly.
Blaming others is the easiest job Mr. Ch!! Politician around the world applies all the tactics to put their opponents down. Have you done anything fruitful to prevent sinking PML-N ship?
@nasir: If there is any name at all, do not expect disclosure at this stage.
If he has proofs he must come out openly and also approach the Supreme Court. Every one knows that this country is badly suffering due to extreme corruption but the politicians are scratching each others backs,
WHY no names again ?
