Ali | 8 years ago | Reply Qasim Zia and Akhtar Islam were both involved in robbing PHF of over Rs1 Billion. The other person involved in financial scam is Misbah Rahman who was instrumental in defrauding SNGPL of crores. If people have not forgotten the road accident involving daughter of Qasim Zia driving Car belonging to PHF almost a year after Qasim Zia had left federation.

Hassan | 8 years ago | Reply The big fishes are sitting outside country and after five years they will return home and NAB cannot do anything against them, people like QZ & Ayyan Ali are just small fishes. Who are the real culprits everyone knows but NAB is unaware?

MSH | 8 years ago | Reply Another feather in as PPP Crown..That's all PPP consists of Corrupt and Criminals.

umair | 8 years ago | Reply @Tipu: NAB recently had a recruitment drive which was fair and transparent. Why did you not appear in it, get inducted and try to nab the big fish and make a change. Appreciate when good work is done, dont just be a keyboard warrior criticizing everything. Thanks.

Tipu | 8 years ago | Reply Scam worth Millions of rupees? Seems like NAB is trying hard to go after the little fish, or the innocents while the known bigwigs continue to wreck havoc.

Adnan Siddiqi | 8 years ago | Reply @John: Get your facts straight boy....he was never in PML-N. Read the second line of this news carefully. We can understand that it's obligatory for a cult worshiping disciple of Deen-e-Imrani to attribute everyone and everything to PML-N
