On what ground he has extended support to Edi sb . Every one is eager to know the source of this black money and why he was keeping it at the center . No one should be allowed to interfere in the on going investigation and govt. should make the findings in public .
This chap Malik Riaz wants to whiten his dark black money by bribing Allah in the name of Eidhi Trust. A normal trend today, swindle 2 crores in bribe and give 2 lacs to any mosque to whiten your bribe. Short cut to "Jannat".
@usman786: You are now opening a new chapter of who really deserves aid money. As I am aware LUMS offer need based scholarships to students who have been offered admission to study but lack financial resources. However, Malik Riaz's and Edhi's humanitarion work is on different grounds; to help poor.
Edhi foundation has billions in reserve. Bahria should give money to deserving ---may be a scholarship in IBA, LUMS or FAST
Let be inquiry complete. Amount of 11 crors has really been robbed or it is drama. What these amount of 11 cror was doing there since Bakra-eid. It was amount sent by Pakistani nationals working in foreign for Kurbani. but instead of performing Kurbani amount was kept to send in switzerland, UK, USA. in secret accounts of his family members. Edhi has only charity amount. he and his family members have nothing of their own received from VERASAT. Know all that all properties valuing belions have been purchased out of Charity fund but purchased in the name of Builquis Edhi and family members. In case of death all this charity amount will go to their children. Don't be silly to give any amount to Edhi.
Wow. Looks like someone from Bahria Town's PR Department wrote this article.
Good Job. Meanwhile Karachi police thinking of how to catch the culprit who turned out to be one of them.
