Imran Khan lost donation money in real estate gambling: Khawaja Asif
Asif, accompanied by two other PML-N leaders, held a press conference in Islamabad on Wednesday and handed out hard copies of “evidence” against Khan’s investments.
The leader said that a total of $4.5 million were invested abroad, which was “in fact the money gained from sadqaat, fitrana and zakat… This was the money of the Pakistani nation which went abroad.”
“In British Virgin Islands, a shell company was first registered. That company transferred money into a company, HBG in Dubai, then HBG bought shares of Sugarland company worth $3 million. During 2009-2010, Sugarland declared losses and in the coming two years, it faced 64% losses. Here, the money of Shaukat Khanum invested by Imran Khan also faced a loss but it was not shown,” Asif said while referring to the documents he had distributed.
The leader mentioned the Double Shah scam and said that Double Shah would at least ask for investments and not for donations, and his business was more transparent than this one. “Imran Khan doesn’t get tired of unleashing allegations against the entire world, but he should first look at himself too.”
Asif questioned Khan that if the investment was so safe and profitable, then why did he not put in his own money rather than that of Shaukat Khanum. “This is not a scandal of the PTI, this was a play of Shaukat Khanum’s money… Shaukat Khanum has not published its balance sheets, the last one available is from 2010, which we have provided to you.
“Imran Khan should reply himself or someone from the trust should reply. Who knows what game Imran Khan is playing with the people’s money and where he’s investing the donations,” he added.
'Shaukat Khanum workers are Khan's friends or family'
Asif also alleged that those working at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital are either Khan’s friends or family members. “Another important person is Imtiaz Haideri. He is a member of Imran Khan’s trust, is a chief executive in Dubai and a chief executive in British Virgin Islands too.”
“In this party (PTI), they are all real estate businessmen or are involved in collecting donations. There is this singer as well, who also collects donations. The whole leadership is involved in the real estate business, they are all gamblers,” said Asif adding that he is providing proof from Shaukat Khanum’s own papers.
“We are not speculating or assuming this. We have handed you all the balance sheets too on which all the investments are stated.”
“During a Public Accounts Committee meeting, I asked NAB without mentioning any name that if a social welfare organisation is involved in such gambling investment, does your law allow them to catch them. They told me yes, they would take action… When the time comes, we will also go to the court.”
“We know it hurts the credibility of leaders before the elections, but we are trying to show the real face (of Imran Khan) on how he is managing the donations,” Asif added.
“Imran Khan took some wrong decisions and the trust should not bear the losses. The loss should come on his personal balance sheet.”

To disapprove Khowaja Asif false allegation that SKMH funds have been invested in construction company in Gulf and the hospital has lost millions in the deal. But in the same time SKMH authorities have mentaioned that they have a "Gurantee Letter" from that construction company clearly mentioned that this invesment is secure and guranteed.
Will some one provide that "Gurantee Letter" for our supporters and donors to give shut-up call people like Khowaja Asif and company.
@ adnan siddiqi.. dude spot on! was feeling the same for so long. be my guru please!
Imran Khan is Chairman of PTI and also Chairman of SKMH Board of Governors and this is conflict of INTEREST and against the ETHICS. Either he is LOYAL to PTI or SKMH. Now it seems that he is more LOYAL to PTI and now squandering and misusing the OVERSEAS DONATIONS and misdirecting them towards RISKY INVESTMENTS even before they are credited to SKMH. SKMH is a non-profit legal entity established under the laws of Pakistan and cannot setup any ENDOWMENT FUND abroad. Overseas donations meant for SKMH have now VANISHED under the cover of INVESTMENTS and the BOARD of GOVERNORS know nothing about it as IMRAN KHAN as CHAIRMAN made all the decisions by himself in the vested interests of PTI. IMRAN KHAN must immediately resign as Chairman of SKMH Board of Governors or as Chairman of PTI if he is that HONEST otherwise HISTORY will write and rewrite IMRAN KHAN as the BIGGEST CHEATER to CHEAT SKMH.
@salman: Overseas donations never reached Pakistan and were not credited to SKMH but were INVESTED so it will not show in any AUDIT report. IMRAN KHAN is a politician and PTI is taking all the advantage of SKMH so AUDIT that first. IMRAN KHAN must separate PTI from SKMH otherwise funds for SKMH will end up for PTI
If we set aside the allegations of PML-N and study the PTI version then they have themselves admitted that OVERSEAS DONATIONS have been squandered and MISDIRECTED to INVESTMENTS rather than to SHAUKAT KHANUM and the money never reached the HOSPITAL for the BENEFIT of the POOR and NEEDY patients. PML-N is correct to address this misdeed of PTI and has the right to demand that the money be credited to SHAUKAT KHANUM HOSPITAL. However LOSSES incurred in INVESTMENTS which always involve RISK FACTORS must be recovered from IMRAN KHAN and his ASSETS must be FROZEN till the JUDGEMENT of this MISAPPROPRIATION of OVERSEAS DONATIONS.
Unfortunately for Khawja and Co, these tactics can only increase the popularity and credibility of IK .
The day PTI supporters start saying 'look who is talking' is the day they have lost the argument. All PTI members on TV yesterday were saying the same thing.....looks like the PTI camp is scared.
It is truly amazing in what frame of mind are before giving such press conferences. In 2010, audited reports of the hospital all these investments are mentioned. Do I need to say more, in 2010 and we are in 2012 that they are point out to. He should look are the personal wealth accumulated by PML-N leaders all over the world which everyone knows about but does nothing about it. None the less let us be positive and work towards a change in Pakistani political climate and vote like Imran to come and lead us to a better future.
The problem with PTI and its supporters is that they would jump to defend everything. Just for the record, I searched about this, and found out that a blog named LUBP had written about the investments abroad by SKMT ie the one in Oman and to funds abroad in 2011.
http://criticalppp.com/archives/48474 http://criticalppp.com/archives/48788 http://criticalppp.com/archives/61789
Just like comments here, these guys were hounded too with counter questions!
Only issue I feel with IK is that what he says and what he does is just not in sync!
Salman Shahbaz arrogantly broke this news in an program that we donated millions to SKH. whenever there is shortage of funds SKH management approached my dad Shahbaz and on his instruction i rushed to give donation to SKH. What a contradiction.
PTI should face the reality. I gave zakat to Shoukat Khanum Hospital many times. But I shall never donate even a penny for this hospital in future. This hospital is being run by corrupt people.
such a cheap shot by such an incompetent bunch of people. instead of looking at the dictionary for what an endowment fun means, they try to seize the opportunity to malign a very well reputed charity
Khawaja Asif, You and your other leaguess are a disgrace to the nation. Shame on you.
@Pashtun voice: Not in Dubai, your money of charity went offshore account, then came Dubai and went Oman to get lost, all with the trust of imran khan, it is in the balance sheet, they were praying this long no one notice, but Allah on who name you give, disclosed to the people like you, that you had been cheated. You should demand that he pay back to hospital 211 million rupees from him personal money.
There was never any doubt about credentials of a cricket playboy character called Imran Khan.
This is unbelievable!... I want my zakat money back please! MR imran khan!! I don't care what PML or anyone else is saying. all I know is IM admitted he used our money to invest somewhere, for which he or anyone else appointed by him, didn't have my permission. so guys please! there is no two ways in this. I don't follow anyone blindly. shocked!!
Khwaja Asif can go to any limit to make Nawaz happy- he is a sick man

@sohail: Lies are unlimited, for sure you can have a lot of them in your stock, only stupid imagination is required to lie, so keep saying but who believe you or your stories?
And what exactly has this khwaja character or the n-league done for the people might I ask? Shame on you for trying to malign one of the few institutions in Pakistan that is truly helping the common man. ask those who have received treatment there. Taking such cheap pot shots might bring you a few supporters in the short run. But in the long run people are going to realise how petty these people are and how apart from politicking they are not interested in changing the future of this country. So keep going Imran we are with you for we know better and want to be masters of our own destiny.
PTI has become a bunch of thugs and shady characters. needs a massive surgery to bring it in its true shape
Imran is not as clear as he and his followers portray him
@Dr Akmal: Dr. sb u might b very experienced and hve been seeing IMRAN KHAN for giving such comments but out of political ground,but we have been watching PML N doing corruption and putting such false allegation on OTHER from many years... every party has been exposed to the people.. PML N IS WRONG
What a cheap and non sense blame on opponents. PMl-N needs to reply, where is the looted money via "Qaraz Utaro Mulk Sunwaro" by Nawaz Sharif. My second question is regarding Foreign Currency Accounts of Overseas Pakistanis, which were frozen by Nawaz sharif after Atomic Explosion in 1998. They transferred all Foreign currency to their foreign Accounts . More over the Foreign Currency Account Holders were forced to accept 40 Rupees Against each US Dollar where as the open market rate was 66 rupees per dollar. Who earned that Haram Money was the Ruling Party called PML and Nawaz was the Prime minister. These thieves have all their property out of Pakistan. They blame others but forget their own Character. It seems comments against PML-N are not published. Why? Allah will ask these supporters for supporting these corrupt elements of Pakistan
So the money I donated to Shaukat Khanum is sitting in Dubai?
Shame on PML-N; Khawaja Asif did not share the entire story from financial note as it would have favored IK & SKMCH creditability. According to the note the land came as capital contribution from one of share holder namely Shiekh Salim. The dent in value of land had been adjusted through reduction in capital share of Shiekh Salim. The note 11.4 from SKMCH financial report says
"The land represents capital contribution in kind by one of HBG Group's shareholders, Sheikh Salim Al Mashani ('the shareholder')......the realizable value of the plot of land at December 31, 2010 ........and noted a decline in the value of the plot of land by USD 18.256 million, which is to be adjusted through reduction of capital contributed by the shareholder by virtue of an agreement with him......."
For details, the report is available @ http://www.shaukatkhanum.org.pk/images/skm_img/downloads/Audits/financial10.pdf
Khaja Asif press conference has been done wiht ulterior motives. They did in Ramzan so that people should not give zakat and fithra to his organisations. Shame on the N leaguies. With a false allegation they are trying to hit under the belt. Me no great supporter of Imran will now urge all to gve money for charity to him from today onward.
Khawja Asif, by dragging national humanitarian institute into politics, you lost the credibility amongst the people.
SIR i only say my father is in police and he worked with sehbaz sharif as when he was a CM during kargil war my father said to me once we went at the top of the kargil hill with helicopter and there were dead boides of our soldiers because they cutoff the weapon suply at the kargill hill and indian soldier attacked at us and sehbaz shrif was saying these are soldiers of india who cam in our teritory.what they are talking about imran khan he is great man.i can tell you more things but ........
So Mr. Clean isnt that clean indeed!
Imran khan has passed his prime in politics.That's it! He is now more or less EXTRA in pakistan politicle stage.Sorry youth.
@M Sheikh: Medical bills were paid from the charity of pakistanis not from IK pocket, you must be thanksfull to Allah and people of pakistan, the hospital help people like you to collect more money from people, you are used as showcase. Otherwise they are doing business with charity money. Collected on the name of Allah but doing business. Shame, shame,
I trust IK even more now. I just paid my annual zakat to SKMT... I urge everyone to do so irrespective of political affiliations.
@Ch. Allah Daad: i wonder why you are so hell bent on trying to validate Khwaja asif's (yet unsubstantiated ) accusations? What's it to do with you? Are you actually saying that PMLN's 'leaders' are as white as snow and that Imran is a black sheep? You've got to be kidding, man! Maybe you know khwaja asif so closely that you are so sure that ''he cannot be wrong''. Nobody in this world is all black or all white. One must rise above one's own baser nature and choose the person who you know in your heart of hearts, is sincere and truthful to this blighted country: Pakistan!
Shame on you Khawaja Asif
May Allah keep u safe from Cancer, Mr Khuwaja....but u never know.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Now just watch the real face of all the crusaders against graft come out. This is just the beginning. Add to this the support provided by the forgettable Pasha, all the folks gathered around him in the last few months and the real face doesn't seem all that handsome any more.
Kh Asif is no man.
Pity on PML N ... they cant even digest a world class cancer related hospital working in Pakistan .. shame .. shame ... shame
@Mr Ali: This money is collected on the name of Allah, for the people from the people. No right to invest on the speculative business adventure, kindly read the news attachment, and watch you tube, and be judge by yourself. He did not tell people that this charity will be invested in business, he cheated the trust of people, he must pay all the lose from his pocket, personal money, get out of the hospital management, governament should take over it to manage it. He do politic on the name of charity. Very shameless act he do.
Shame on you Khawaja Asif. What you have done is really low even for you!
Imran Khan gives lessons on morality days and night that everyone should bring his money to Pakistan.
Now why his own SKMH is investing abroad and not in Pakistan?
@Mohd Butt: Dear PTI members are not ashamed. We are proud of SKMH and IK. He never cheated and never been involved in corruption.
Why don't you ask Asif to go to Court and ask for SKMH audit and also ask for all those allegations. Why press conference, why not directly application is submitted to court.
It is very calculated attempt by Khawaja Asif to put doubts in people mind in Month of Ramadan to stop Zakat for SMCH.
an other nail in the PMLN coffin
Finally the cat is outta bag.. shame on IK
Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif want shaukat khanam to fail and pakistani cancer patients to die.
@Adnan Siddiqi: Why only me? why not the people of Pakistan?
khowaja asif you and your party has ruined our motherland name in front of everyone. Imran khan is our only hope. Long live PTI
Why Imran khan is collecting donation The people of pti are insane
Khawaja you are done! your political career is over!
@Adnan Siddiqi,
Still selling the same old munjan of baseless allegations against the Hero of Pakistan? Learn a lesson from Hanif Abbai's fate, now Khawaja is next and you my friend have been exposed!
Imran khan is now cancer khan....Good job Khawaja sab.
I believe IK will not give any serious answer and just abuse in reply and similarly PTI kids will start abusing.....
Very bad PMN, you dont know how to run Charity and fund raising. Keep it up Imran khan.
If Imran Khan used charity funds for his own personal endeavors and physical investments, then he must be exposed and punished according to law.
If Khawaja Asif is lying, then he must be exposed and punished according to the law for defamation.
All the Leftists will be laughing rolling on the floor watching the fight between the Right wing parties....come on IK..its your turn....bring something out against N League....
Khwaja Asif! For God sake! If you guys cannot build an institution like SKMH, please do not destroy which is already working.
Well done Khawja asif for exposing a self declared mr. clean
I was wondering whom to give my zakat as I live in Canada thanks to Khuwaja Asif it will be going this year to SKMH, take that PML - N and no I was never a fan of IK I always liked miandad :)
What a hasty and slipshod effort by a low level auditor of N League. Too many english and spelling mistakes. With financial gurus like Ishaq Dar, the party should have deliberated further before acting like a clever crow in deep muck. It is reflection of a sick mindset. First they maligned Begum Nusrat Bhutto, then Imran Khan,Benazir Bhutto and Salman Taseer’s daughters followed by some young girls of PTI and now this.
Not very long ago Hanif Abbassi now involved in ephedrine scandal leveled allegations against the hospital like spitting in the sky that all fell back on his face. This will not work. If you are a true lion then take on Imran Khan’s Challenge.
Rtd Brig Samson Sharf
Haha...IK gave a befitting reply to these allegations and have given a challenge to Sharif bros..What Khwaja Asif is saying that he is exposing SKMT and for this he is using the audit report of SKMT avaiable on SKMT site..wow..pathetic..
@ Khawaja Asif:
“We know it hurts the credibility of leaders before the elections, but we are trying to show the real face (of Imran Khan) on how he is managing the donations,” Asif added.
I don't know if IK was responsible for the alleged shady investment, and if he was, you are doing the right thing. But when will you expose the billions of graft Nawaz Shrif shelved in to his pocket when he was the Finance and Chief Minister of Punjab and Prime Minister of Pakistan. I am a witness to how well he managed the both. Will you also dare to expose how the hundreds of millions of Pounds laundered in UK and are now being used to run the real estate business of his son Husain Nawaz in London's most expensive area of Marble Arch.
@Adnan Siddiqi: Adnan if someone is doing job, Tax is deducted and tax is paid by the employer. So you can call on PCB if you want to check how much IK has paid the tax.
IK never claimed that he is righteous and pious Muslim, he always said that i am trying to become good Muslim and by the he is not corrupt which is important for common people.
lol @ Khawja
Khawaja Asif, it does not matter of 4.5 million US$ lose, he don't care, all he have to do is beg again, to the donors and there are lot of nice simpe young to whom he can fool again. He dont know how to EARN , all he know is to ask for charity, But how long? And he claim that he will handle the people's Money and trust? take Pakistan out of trouble by betting the good earn money of the peoples. Love you all but not the cheat.
8 years ago when i was poor my sister had a full cancer treatment from SKCH for free this is a real and only jewel on face of Pak and people who lives in gutter trying to spite on it shame to all PML-N in Ramadan and + blaming the super power is watching and noting every thing
Anyway my vote goes to IK.
Dear PTI members, I know that you are ashamed by this discloser that is the reason you are attacking khawaja Asif, those who are shame less they can keep attacking, those who are not and are nice believers, they must read the proof given, then be with the truth, IK is a cheat, soon you will find more evidence of his cheating on the name of charity, why 17 years nation ignored him due to his known behaviour, pasha sold to dreamers faulted product. Get up please I feel sorry for nice peoples who re misguided and misused. Love you all.
The lust for power made PMLN blind and they didn't thought even for a moment that their baseless allegations can badly effect the cancer patients on their death beds. PMLN has hit a new low.
These comments show that how educated people of Pakistan believe in Imran Khan and how they love him. The way, people wrote these comments, is enough for Khawja Asif and his party. Imran says right that people have already decided to go for PTI this time. I hope PML-N "think-tank" will present this public reaction to their leadership. Actually, this is beginning of their dirty election campaign against PTI. As the new voter lists have been come out, and it worried the PML-N that the youth vote will change the fate this time. Now there is only one thing that PTI and Imran Khan must have to do. They should start a campaign to convince the youth for casting their vote on polling day. They should make aware the public their votes' value and it is the only way poor people can take revenge from corrupt politicians. Media must also play its role in this regard as it is an integral part of our society in many ways irrespective of the vulgarity which is spreading through media.
Khawaja Asif constituency is Sialkot and yesterday people donated 4 corore to SKMH hence the drama today #DesperatePMLN
@Ch. Allah Daad: Imran is the only guy who had kept not only himself but his team away from fixing in cricket. Provided us best display of game and team.
Imran is the only guy (in pakistan) who had kept not only himself but his team from any corruption in SKMH. Provided us best team to run hospital.
Imran is the only guy (in pakistan) who had kept not only himself but his team from any corruption in NAMAL. Provided us best team to run Uni.
He is doing the same. He is forming PTI team free of corruption and No one can on this earth blame for corruption.
If everyone is corrupt than why is SC just focusing on PPP?
I have gone through the entire Audit Report and the PMLN fact sheet. What a hasty and slipshod effort by a low level auditor of N League. Too many english and spelling mistakes. With financial gurus like Ishaq Dar, the party should have deliberated further before acting like a clever crow in deep muck. It is reflection of a sick mindset. First they maligned Begum Nusrat Bhutto, then Imran Khan,Benazir Bhutto and Salman Taseer's daughters followed by some young girls of PTI and now this, Not very long ago Hanif Abbassi now involved n ephedrine scandal leveled allegations against the hospital like spitting in the sky that all fell back on his face. This will not work. If you are a true lion then take on Imran Khan's Challenge. I dare PMLN.
khwaja g ...you really want to show balance sheets ? those pappers were publicaly available ..lolz how about the papers whichh are nor publicaly available ? doo you want to see some of those ? :-)
You always show proof first then go for this much allegation against this personality. Look at your own character first....!!!!!
$3 milllion was invested to generate money for SKMH. The company gave guarantee that if the company lose money SKMH will not lose no money. SKMH got the guarantee letter from the company wich says SKMH will not lose any money.IK is not involve in these decisions , its a hospital board wich deals with this.
@Adnan Siddiqi: And you are the only sane face on earth, who is bestowed upon all the wisdom of mankind.
@Ch. Allah Daad: You have the name of "Allah" part of your name. Just remember we will answer "Allah" one day.
PML-N has lost its marbles in the tsunami. Let's see what Zardari says, especially when he loses to PTI.
I paid1500 £ to imran khan in a charity dinner andmany others paid much more Imran is a man of integrity
About time some one actually spoke out about the Holy leader and his Unholy acts. IK has been fooling people for very long. Shaukat khanum has always been a family trust although it was built from peoples money ( I remember putting in my pocket money for the casue). Be real PTI and IK.... all your politics will achieve is to get Zardari back in power... Well Done Khwaja Asif
LOL on Khwaja Asif. After this news my vote will go to PM ... L ... PTI. Ham mulk bachaney niklein hain aao hamarey saath challo. PTI Zindabad.
pmln its not 1997, its 2012. it won't work this time. sorry
What a shame and what hasty preemption. An audit usually takes six months to conduct and another six to finalise.It goes to the credit of Shaukat Khanum that the report ending Dec 2010 is already done with, PMLN have a heart
@Khalid, first off my friend; investing Zakat money into an investment portfolio is not permissible by Shariah. Secondly, why has the donated money been invested in projects outside of Pakistan? Does this anomaly within its own right not in direct contravention of IK's philosophy that money of the land should stay in the land and not land in off-shore accounts?
Thirdly, why specifically Oman and a particular project has been chosen in which SKMH's money has been invested in when the real estate market in GCC has been shot down by 35% on valuation? Lastly, who is Imtiaz Haideri? Isn't Imtiaz Haideri the CEO of the company in whose real estate project in Oman these funds have been invested in and he currently sits on SKMH's Board of Directors as well? Isn't this a conflict of interest?
What on earth is "real estate gambling"? Charitable funds invest, real estate is one such outlet. if the market crashes, it is not the mistake of the investors.
In the US, certain charitable funds invested with now jailed financial expert Madoff. He cheated them. Was it their intent to be cheated? Or, was it Madoff who had mail-intent?
If Imran Khan did this than this is a shame, but If there is no such thing than shame on Khawaja Asif.
This guy Khawaja Asif need to tell the people of Pakistan when will the Nawz sahib's shazada zahid mahmoud loanPakistani people need jobs and not allegations - they are not interested in who did what - they want jobs so they are not roasting under the Middle East sun - I see them everyday.
PML N anchors are going to have a great time during prime time this evening!
Atleast we can see the hospital and it's performance. Looks like N league has forgotten the slogan that they used to chant "Karz utaro mulk sudharo" I remember giving away all of my school lunch money!!! I ask you N league where is my lunch money???
@Hedgefunder: dude, what does it have to do with you it is pakistan;s internal matter. go fix your grid before it collapses again!
@Ch. Allah Daad: lol come with me your place is in the CM house sindh as you speak out of this world :P
whattttttt ..imran khan did corruption , lol PML n ... by doing such propaganda you will not even get a few seats this time even in punjab!!!
@Imran Con: Yes... there was news yesterday... a sitting MNA joined PTI.... LOL...
@Ch. Allah Daad:
A big gap between his income and expenses....... What in the UK a major superstar like Imran playing international cricket and county cricket, working as a commentator and working for an International newspaper as a cricket reporter and you are trying to tell me that the Inland Revenue in The UK could not see this huge gap between his income and expenses but you can?????????????
@salman:
Actually it is surprising that the auditors A.F.Ferguson have reached a conclusion not to impair the concerned assets despite obvious indicators and ascertainable values. Khwaja Asif might have ill intentions but not only the investment was a bad one but the auditors are clearly guilty of professional misconduct.
Very interesting this accusation has arisen when we are months away from General Polls! It seems like a desperate attempt to dent IK's popularity which eating into the PMLN vote bank!
an attempt to hide hanifabbasi drug scam! pmln is full of looters and munafiqs
one should take pity at asif.......... pmln back to dirty tricks ......... this is 2012 not 1997..............
mentality of PML-N:
Real Estate is an investment but not Gambling..
Shame on you PML (N) - Imran Khan has selflessly devoted his life to Social work -the SKMH is testament to all that is good in Pakistan. If the trust invested in real estate so what there is no guarantee of profit - I respect their decisions. I have been donating to this noble cause for the last 10 years and now will do so even more. The days of the corrupt PPP and PML N are numbered. The Pakistani Qaum has finally woken up and will not be distracted by your mudslinging - Oh people of Pakistan do your duty for your country and vote for change vote for Imran Khan vote for your dignity and Izzat. I know you will not let us all down.
the final nail on the coffin of pml n
At least it did not go down to Sita White issue and the disowned daughter, like the 90s. .
IK needs to have some ethics around the donations. He takes money from personalites and then he starts praising these persoanlities on TV (wothout disclosing that he has taken money from them) . This itslef is violation of ethics.
here goes PMLN...not surprised seeing the party go so low against its political opponents
Khawaja Asif you are using the same strategy that PPP used against Chief Justice. If he had done what you are claiming he has, then do you think the hospital would have been operating this effectively and efficently the way it is now. There are certain times and issues that are independent and should remain independent of politics. But may be you are too immature to understand that. You have already destroyed morale of Pakistani people, now you are working to further deteriorate it. Enough already.
Imran's only real income was from cricket and in those days, if a cricketer bought a motor bike, whole country would congratulate him but Imran lived like a prince. There is always a huge gap in his income and expenses which he never explained. Now he is caught red handed and exposed.
am very happy to see that u can't fool these young pakistani people anymore i can see that in the comments everyone knows the real thieves! shame on khwaja!
Everyone responding with PML-N's record for a deflection: read the article. They pretty much simply said he was a hypocrite, and if what is said is true, that's exactly what he is. They didn't claim themselves to be angels. The frantic and desperate style of defense in comments coming to his defense goes to show that even his own supporters are aware that if he doesn't have his corruption allegations about his opponents and the image of being clean, he has nothing. @Salman Zafar: Did he finally say something new? If not, that's probably why. Just like the supporters, Imran Khan himself is about as redundant a person can be, which makes him pretty boring considering talk is all he has going for him up until the present day.
Khawaja Asif why don't you go put a petition in the courts, that's what you do all the time! Do it with this case as well and then see how you get sued for false allegations and defamation!!
What a shame for PMLN, Don't you guys thank that some one has given you a hospital for cancer treatment for the needy people where some can't even afford the doctor? And ii was all done with the help of the People of Pakistan and International Community. And it's running successfully for the past 15 years and will continue to do so insha'Allah. May Allah bless Imran Khan
He is truly lieing
No one is innocent in politics. May be his intention to capitilize funds to build another hospital, but in between he had lost Money.
Khawaja Asif is one of the most honest and credible leader. He cannot be wrong. He was the person who never surrenders. Against Musharaf, he stood like a rock,
So the PML-N dirty game begins. This is the first channelized attempt in this regard. You should be ready to hear more bizarre blames in the days to come.
This is not something new from PML N. I was thinking they have learned from history but I was totally wrong. I have too much respect for Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and I was against the redicule behaviour of the PTI leadership. However now I have seriously started thinking of voting Imran Khan. Far PPP has miserably failed and PML N is still behaving like kids.
its not a secret that Imran Khan was the first cricket captain who introduced his team to gamblers and match fixers. Rest is history.
pitty on Khawaja Asif, PML-N is based on the worst politics just try to blame...where i have never heard term of Real Estate gamling...Chacho real estate is investment but not Gambling.
Yes ! and this is exactly the reason why he has been awarded an honorary MRCP .. at least get creative with your acquisitions!
PMLN thank you for exposing yourself further. I never donated to SKMH before, but from today, I will keep donating till I am alive! shame on PMLN for stooping so low
Bas kardo bas! When you don't have issues to talk about, you talk about it
So buying preperty is now a "gambling investment"? lol
I trust no PMLN memebrs or thier family members invest in property (lets not mention sharif's multiple companies investing in property in london, such as Flagship investment limited) :)
Cheap!!!!!!! They are targetting an institute, which is recognized by the world. Dear Khawaja! Its better to explore the money matters of PMLN and PPP people.
latest balance sheet was from 2010 - so the fiscal authorities havent ASKED OR DEMANDED for the update ?
this guy khwaja know's nothing or he is just doing this because pmln is loosing to imran! u can't just keep money even it's charity money u have to invest them to save money from inflation and investment can go bad!!!
From day one I have been saying that this Imran guy is fraudster. He is hypocrite and playing a wrong game with the youth and people of Pakistan.
Excellent
khwaja will go down.........
Perhaps Khawaja sahib would also care to explain to the Pakistani nation how Sharifah Lohar's progeny became multi-billionaires.
Shame that PLM(N) needs this kind of cheap tactics to hide their own corruption. They are doing this only because they feel PTI big challenge for incoming elections. People trust IK and will not be deviated by these stories and we expect more stories like this near the elections.
khawaja sahib, lets even assume as a certainty that some money from SKH is stolen. At least we can all see, he does something with some of the donated money. You just have to walk in to SKH to see how many really poor desparate people are treated for free. I am not Imran apologist but I respect what he has already done and think his achievements should not be soiled upon. This is a lot better than the schemes your leaders have used to steal the public money. Should I mention the 'Qarza Utaro, Mulk Sawaro' scheme of your great 'leader'? The same one who should be sitting in Medina right now like a coward that he is that he rather left his country than face the hardships like a man, the same kind of hardships you guys have inflicted on the whole country...
look who is saying, and against whom?
PMLN and Khwaja asif must be really desperate....all this is already mentioned in the audited report of SKMT by Fergueson, AVAILABLE ON SKMT WEBSITE.

LOL!!!!
Pot calling the kettle black, Nawaz Sharif has a net worth of over 1 billion US dollars. Where did all that money come from, one may ask this PML N politician?
I wish I was allowed to use the words which are roaming around i my mind and heart this time..but its ET forum not you tube..Just want to say that I knew Noon will do what ever to discredit IK and try to damage its incredible credibility in the public..but was not expecting them to be go that low...at least they should spare this hospital for which one side Imran khan has been awarded for hounours and PHD degrees around the world and on the other side these people only for the sake of there our own personal politics try to damage this institution who has served this nations poor to afford cancer treatment..really disappointing and ashamed that I once voted for Noon...This game of politics is really cruel..that's why this place is not for honest and credible people..
Not sure whether this is true but Imran Khan is not the owner of SKMH... SKMH is run by a board. PMLN will not understand this ofcourse. They are too used to being ruled by one or two people!
PMLN has lost it completely.
Is this the most important issue we are facing as a nation?! I wish Khwaja Asif would have deliberated upon the non-existent price control mechanism in Punjab!!!
Khwaja Asif, you will get a befitting reply of it but just wait.
Another attempt to malign PTI will also result into a backfire. PML N and all the parties in the present government can run from pillar to post but this time they will find themselves behind eight balls.
