ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said that so-called “Sadiq and Amin” had admitted to investing Shaukat Khanam Cancer Hospital’s $ 3 million charity fund in housing society.

While taking a jibe at Imran Khan, she said, “Saqib Nisar’s ‘Sadiq aur Amin’ admits to investing Shaukat Khanum’s $ 3 million charity fund in housing society”.

She said that people of Pakistan had given Zakat funds for Shaukat Khanum Hospital, not for private housing society. Referring to double standards of Imran, she said he accused others of theft but now himself confessed to stealing and misuse of charity money. She said that Imran did not even get approval from board of directors of hospital while investing millions of dollars of charity money.

She termed Imran swindler and fraud who had stolen Toshakhana gifts and misappropriated Zakat funds. She said that Imran did not consider plunder of Toshakhana gifts and misappropriation of £ 190 million any issue.

For him 5-carat diamond or getting foreign funding against national interests was not crime, she maintained.

She said that 458 Kanal land was taken as bribe in name of Al-Qadir Trust and Bushra Bibi sold every job and every appointment in Punjab. On contrary, she said against his political opponents whom he called thieves he could not prove false accusations in any court in Pakistan or in Britain.
