Ali Musa left for South Africa on April 10 on a honeymoon trip and was expected to travel to the UK too. According to Ali Musa’s personal secretary, the premier’s son was earlier scheduled to return on May 2.
The recently-elected MNA left before his name could be placed on the Exit Control List for his alleged role in the Rs7 billion drug quota scandal. Ali Musa has denied the allegations.
The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) had named Ali Musa as one of the accused in its inquiry report. The report added eight more names to the list of accused, including the prime minister’s Principal Secretary Khushnood Akhtar Lashari, Ministry of Narcotics Control Secretary Zafar Abbas Lak and National Assembly Member Mian Abdul Sattar.

The Junior Gilani is all-set-to-go as a strong next electoral candidate from peoples' party.
Dear Prime Minister you have made the position of prime minister as crime Minister.
How can a son of our pious prime minister be a involved in scandal ! Those who blame "peer sahib" will face wrath of Allah on judgement day.
Chemical Musa back in town
@Jibran: I agree with you 100%. Thanks for telling the truth. It is ironic that the deep state wants PPP elected leaders to simply disappear. However, they would fail as the past history is the witness. They have invested many lives (from ZAB, Taseer to BB) to run away like cowards. I am sure many are disappointed at Musa's arrival and would want to see the elected leadership running away. The coalition govt is going to win the next elections like the past and they are not going anywhere.
Bravo, face and clear it up,
"Oh what? I've been caught in a scandal? News to me."
Gilani Junior may or may not be guilty of the crimes he is accused of. The question that needs to be answered is: the young man is not from a super rich family, where he got the billions of rupees to invest in the import-export business? I didn't know that Mazar kay Mujawir get so much tips from the grave visitors!
Nothing like travelling the world for free on tainted money.
@Ali Tanoli: This more than the trinkets Gillanis get as shrine money.
You know the best thing about PPP is that they are proud thieves , they dont feel ashamed of corruption.
look at him he is such a sweety pic innocent child, just being dragged in to scandals for sake of revenge ...
Under our constitution , does an MNA step down , if he or she is accused of a crime?
What is the punishment under our law for drug dealers?
If the accused is found guilty, under the law are all his/her assets confiscated by the courts?
Is AMGilani's name now on ECL?
In any event AM Gilani has nothing to worry about. The slow pace our courts work it will probably take at least 10 years for the first hearing.
Prime ministers son corruption scandal Accountability beurau, no never. He will clear his name naturally
The big difference between the PML-N and the PPP. The truth is the former assaults courts, forcibly frees criminals from police custody, and their MNAs abscond. The later never flees, which proves again they are clean. And certain quarters are trying to fabricate cases to blackmail the government into submission. In this case, as Najam Sethi told, "someone" wants to restore the disgraced defense secretary. Same old 65 year old dirty games being played by the same old actors.
Its not proven that Musa was guilty but he has proven that he is a brave kid. Unlike Khan who gets assurances of safety from seperatists before going to Quetta and declares it a great bravery act.
Chemical Ali returns!
Good, he has come back. Let us see how well he and his father cooperate with the investigators.
Shrine money is so good u can travel around the world what a innocent public uneducated that they dont know these graves dont give any thing thuf....
