LAHORE:
The president of the Pakistan Muslim League –Q Senator Chaudhri Shujaat Hussain has said that the Punjab government is spending Rs30 million daily on advertisements for the character assassination of Malik Riaz Hussain who is a great philanthropist.
He said that this money should be spent on welfare of the people but it is being wasted to malign Bahria Town. He said that hospitals of Bahria Town in Lahore Rawalpindi and Islamabad are providing free medical care including free dialysis, kidney transplant and hepatitis B. He said that Bahria Town serves free meals to millions of people.
While there were richer people in Pakistan none of them bothered to spend money to get the Pakistani brothers from the captivity of Somali pirates. Malik Riaz paid Rs130m to get them free. His services for the victims of floods and earthquake are well known. Bahria Town is the only neighbourhood where there are no power outages and it does not need to employ the security persons, the PML-Q leader said.

Chaudhry Sahab please follow Malik Riaz out of Rs. 22 billion your party got from the Governemnt in the name of development funds and please advise the Dy Chaudhry to spend some money for the welfare of the people out of the money he amassed from fertilizer scandal and so on.
Typical Pakistani morality: he feeds 100 hungry people; what does it matter that he has paid no taxes or is a land grabber? Unless we get rid of this state of mind unfortunately passed on to us by our elders, we will continue to glorify modern day thugs wearing charity masks
he is great philanthropist and you are a great leader...... yeah ok we get it
If I had illegally amassed a lot of black money, I would be happy to pay out a small percentage if that helped convert the black money to white money
Mr Shujat...the time of Robin Hoods are long gone....
Indeed, he give generously to the high and mighty...... by squeezing the savings of the white colored people.
And he gifted 200 kanal palatial mansion to the ruling family: all part of philanthropy of course. And noble gestures can't be questioned, can they? Just a matter between beneficent and the beneficiary.
So let him b the Sole owner of Pakistan !!!
Amazing news. Malik Riaz is spending his money effectively. Obviously, he is a very big and looming, ominous threat to the Sharifs of Raiwind. Salams
Well you don't become a billionaire by being too nice and not getting others jealous. The truth about how people actually make their wealth will never be known but there will always be envy in this world
