Sardar Zulfiqar Khan Khosa and his son Dost Muhammad Khosa recently developed differences with the senior leadership of Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N). After receiving offers from the PPP, the Khosa family asked for a major role in South Punjab and demanded that the matters of the DG Khan division be handed to them.
Talpur has forwarded these conditions to President Asif Ali Zardari, who will hold meetings with PPP-South Punjab to discuss the matter, said sources.
'Zulfiqar Khosa still a part of PML-N'
Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif said on Saturday that Senator Sardar Zulfiqar Khan Khosa is still a member of his party, reported Express News.
Zulfiqar Khosa had earlier resigned from his party post, but Sharif said that he had only resigned as a senior leader and retains his basic membership.
Sharif added that there are differences between members of every party and he still respects Zulfiqar Khosa.
The growing rift between Zulfiqar Khosa and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was confirmed by his son Dost Muhammad Khosa, who on Friday also resigned from PML-N’s basic party membership.
Dost Muhammad Khosa had lashed out against the PML-N leadership on Friday and had claimed that he was made a target of ‘character assassination’ and a case was forged against him to hide another case.

pmln started to be squeezed in their fort .... punjab.......... pmln going to face the music in next elections
@Blithe: You know if a company has lost 65% of their capital they are in real not worth balance 35% also, he should bring his own money back to Pakistan, pay hispital lose, apologize the nation, get education from JI what is Zaka, and how to use it.
Zaka can not be used for investment to make intrest or profit out of it, those who speak loud they hide behind it out of their fear. And it is well known fact IK speak loud.
Mr. Shah you cal also read this comment, Zaka is not any simple fund nor is hospital a fund management company. We know that in USA PTI is registered as a LLC but it does not mean they can collect zaka and consider fund and invest it.
@ Shah, Whole nation respects Imran on his charity work but he should not build his political career around his hospital and other charity works. These charity missions are accomplished to please God and for love of mankind. There are other poltiicians too who have built hospitals and served thousands of poor and sick people but they never take credit of these deeds to increase their vote bank. Two things he should never do, talk about his hospital and use cricket teminology. This is a friendly advice from a PML(N) supporter.
@Shah: Yoû need to get a grip, mate! IK needs to have the courage to accept where a mistake has happened and rectify the situation and not politicize the Situation.
Giving zakat money to a personal friend to manage via shell companies and the end result is a very strange piece of land investment in Oman.
IK is covering up by claiming that it's g'teed and bring in dirty PTI politics .,,
The blind support you are showing IK is not going to encourage him to tell the truth and own up. IK needs to know that Pakistanis aren't blind fools .
PPP reaches out to Khosa bradraan and the rift, in the comments sections, starts between PMLN and PTI... irony, at its best!
Mian sahib bring khosa back he is a big asset of pml
Lot of replies and counter replies here....
VOTE FOR PTI....
Sher Ghazi: I wish Shabaz Sharif could have taken the same stance in that Ayesha Ahad case!
@Blithe7: In every charity organisation thre is something called endorsement fund plus if there was anything to hide it would have not been on the balance sheet or annual report of SK. Get a grip mate! plus can you please answer how many charitable organisations as big as SK is your leader Mr. Nawaz sharif is running! Looks like you have forgotten his slogan 'Karz utaro milk sawaro!"! My question to you is what happened to that Karz in which poor gave away there jewellery money and etc. I remember as a kid giving away my school lunch money to mr. Sharif Karz utaro milk sawaro thing mind you people gave away there zakat money to karz utaro mulk sawaro. Learn to appreciate SK is the only independent CANCER RESEARCH HOSPITAL IN Pakistan. At least Mr. Khan does not own a flat in park lane and Mayfair London. The time is to choose best of the worse lot not to choose worse of the worse. Peace out!
Salute to Shabaz Shareef for not supporting Khosa and his sons for harassment of Sapna Murder case, Khosa family need favor in Sapna case, So he should face courts clear him self from other cases then PML N will accept him. Other wise such seasonal politions needs in PPP.Bye Bye Khosa and go and Joiin PPP.
i think he will join PTI. Thanks
@Shah: So you are saying that a zakat taking institution should not be vetted or scrutinized ???? What sort of logic is that?
A highly irregular investment has happened where a former board member recieved money from one shell company to another to finally buy a piece of land in Oman .
Then we have IK defending the indefensible investment trying to explain to Pakistanis that it is "a Bluechip company " and the money is g'teed .
It is our duty to keep a check and balance on all institutions , especially Zakat taking institutions .
And please don't portray IK as some sort of prophet who is above scrutiny - this sort of mindset will be very dangerous for the country .
in this country the politicians are not respecting even the institutions, n league and ppp always acted in the things of their interest, both these parties never acted according the wishes of people, how they win.... 40% popultion illiterated, 60% lives in villages, only 1/5th the population votes and majority of educated class do not vote, this is the time ik should be given a fine chance. quoting american ambassador, n league ppp anp mqm will loose seats and ik will make itself a major party in early elections of 2013
@Pakistani USD 147 Million is the figure stated for N-league as compared to USD 3 million invested by IK! apologies for not being clear!
@Blithe7: May i ask How many charitable institutions is your so called leader nawaz sharif running?? My beloved family member has been treated at SK I know what that institution is like we don't need khan sahib to explain him self that building is evident enough for us to have faith in it.
@Salman: Why don't first implore in your "great leader " to stop lying in Ramadan.
Tell him to stop calling a shell company a Bluechip and stop misleading everyone on the g'tee.
@Usman: And would you be kind enough to tell us how IK guarantees safety of those $147m.
brother blithe.....your frustration is evident. The two things are not related. let Nawaz be a man and come out and answer instead of getting his minions making excuses for him. :)
Nawaz Sharif is talking through his head. Khosa's have gone - they are no more with Sharif Dynasty. After Ranjeet Singh, Nawaz Sharif and family thinks that Punjab is their fiefdom. They will keep a hold through their kids.
@ Blithe,
Guarantee can be called by SKMH Investment board and not IK. What IK should do is not use name of SKMH anymore and concentrate on public issues with respect of PTI
@salman: he has better things to do than answer to some unknown person. first imran khan need to answer questions raised by khawaja asif and choudary nisar. 1) taxation when IK was cricketer 2) money laundering in the name of SKMH 3) Be-naming transaction for bani gala home.
so clean your roots first before you ask PML(N).
@Blithe USD 3 million is much lesser that USD 147 million! Also IK agrees and guarantees its safety, and the others yet again hide the bleeding obvious! So let N-league for a change take the initiative of clearing out what needs to be cleared or else realize that the clock is ticking quite fast for them!
@Blithe: Hey Blithe tell Mian Sahib i have got news for him......."IK's 11 QUESTIONS"
Pmln in tatters.
PML(N) is a well established democratic party in which every member can speak his mind unlike PTI supporters and members who are controlled through online instructions.
Mian sahab your brother's dictatorship is breaking your party get rid of him.
@Blithe, I think the fast is getting to you
@Butt: For your kind information , IK from PTI was actively supporting the name change from NWFP to Pukhtoonkhwa . PML N was still opposing till the last minute and having to hear taunts from JI's Amir , PPP , ANP and MQM to accept the 18th amendment .
Still , I agree PMLN should not have caved in . But at least they were not actively supporting the name change like IK...
And when it comes to Punjab, PTI's Hashmi and Qureshi wants to carve Punjab into three parts : Seriki , potohar and central .
Who is playing ethnic / linguistic politics ??? PTI is a dirty party that'll do anything to come to power , even if it means justifying zakat money invested though offshore companies to a piece of illiquid land in Oman.
@salman: Did IK call the g'tee and to bring back USD 3mio to Pakistan? Let him do that first.
I am sure NS is going to beg to everyone. He can do anything to come to power. Remember what did he do to the Hazara people.
Seems not for long Mian Sahab :P
learn to accept defeat Mr. Sharif !!! he's gone !!!
Did Nawaz answer any of the 11 questions raised by IK?
Reach out to him.
