ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has decided to move adjournment motions in Senate and National Assembly on the reported issue of charity money collected by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in the name of education.

No ulterior motives behind protest: Imran

Political sources on Saturday said sensitive issue of charities, reported in the foreign press, will be raised in parliament through adjournment motions shortly. “Britain’s Charity Commission started investigation into three charities of PTI Chairman Imran Khan over fears for being used in financial fraud and money-laundering,” says a news report published in London’s free paper, Metro.

“Money, raised in the name of education in Pakistan, was sent to Dubai for Imran Khan’s sisters and offshore investment,” the report said.

The paper said that the NAMAL-2012 accounts were not submitted and it was feared that these funds had been used for financial fraud and money-laundering.

Senate to celebrate successes in 43 years

NAMAL College has raised millions of pounds in the name of education from British taxpayers but the Charity Commission’s website says that NAMAL trustees Taher Nawaz, Imran Khan Niazi, Miss Sobia Zia and Naeem Khurram have not submitted accounts’ details of the Year-2012 despite several reminders which were outstanding for four years.

Siraj Ulmulk | 2 years ago | Reply Imran Khan will come out of this clean. No doubts about that. But the economy of our country will continue to suffer at its worst time at the hands of these politicians who are at each others throats at the cost of running Pakistan to the ground.

Aasia | 8 years ago | Reply Here's the thing, They are not 'PTI' charities, they are private charities collecting money for a PRIVATE hospital and college that everyone knows runs on charity. If it is proven that money is stolen from these charities than the government has every right to investigate and charge Imran Khan with that crime.. Funny thing is Imran Khan presents himself to be investigated and arrested if they can prove him wrong. But they just won't do it.. My question is why not. Why do PML-N's speakers come on talk shows and throw these allegations but are incapable for holding him accountable for any of it. Empty vessels make the most noise.

RAIS AKBAR | 8 years ago | Reply PML (N) have mercy on the poor getting treatment from SKMH and education from NAMAL. Stop defaming these 2 institutions for your personnel gains.

سے Shaam (Hanafi) | 8 years ago | Reply Imran is holier than thou tactics will not suffice. People are just sick and tired of PML-N and PPP running the country in tandems. So they need change, once Imran becomes PM, they will realize their folly that Imran is no different at all. Imran born with a silver spoon, has had more fame or fortune than any of the present leaders, would he be able to take care of poor or middle class masses, I don't think so...(KPK is prime example) You need a leader from grassroots level perhaps a person of Mao Zedong stature. A person running multi specialty 5 star hospitals on mere charity is far more corrupt/clever than a corrupt industrialist.(Imran is no Edhi...)

Mohammed | 8 years ago | Reply @Danish Ali: Only an idiot like you would believe such rubbish, this is an annual tactic from the Nooras when they come under pressure and you know what, every time they do, I give more and to make up for some losers not giving, I will increase my contribution this year.

Danish Ali | 8 years ago | Reply Good decision. People should know that Imran Khan and team are using charity funds for personal gains and luxury lifestyle and not for intended purpose. No more will give charity to Shaukat Khanum

Fawad Ali | 8 years ago | Reply So instead of arresting them, government decides to issue a press release.

Faisal | 8 years ago | Reply This is getting pathetic on King sharif's part. Confidently, the government realized to do all this on August 7th. Pressure can make people do funny things and I'm literally laughing at this move by the government.

JB | 8 years ago | Reply How low can the government stoop to? Have PMLN forgotten what they did themselves? Just an excuse to take attention away from Panama Leaks! Shame on PMLN!

Tinto | 8 years ago | Reply PML N which has looted Pakistan and created Panama empire is more worried about a private charity organization who collects charity from Non resident Pakistanis, PML N first you guys have to answer for your plundering of the wealth of this nation, we all know you guys are corrupt to the core and you would never be able to tarnish IK image by using SKMH or NAMAL with all this propaganda based campaign, by the way we are still waiting for Swiss bank account and surrey mehal case, what a grand muk muka it is.

salman | 8 years ago | Reply That is great news. But it will raise question why this can be investigated but not Panama leaks?
