PML-N leader challenges PM aide to prove kickback charges against Nawaz

malik-ahmed Shehzad Akbar Nawaz

ISLAMABAD: Responding to Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Accountability Shehzad Akbar’s allegations that former premier Nawaz Sharif used the Islamabad airport to pump ill-gotten money into the Chaudhry Sugar Mills (CSM), PML-N leader Malik Ahmed Khan on Friday challenged him to come up with documentary evidence to back up the charges.

A day earlier, Mr Akbar alleged the former premier received kickbacks and commission in the Rs105 billion New Islamabad airport project.

Speaking in ARY News’ Bakhabar Savera morning show, he termed the accusations baseless and based on surmises.

Malik Ahmed Khan said he would stop appearing on TV shows if Shehzad Akbar proves the accusations.

He asked if the govt had any evidence, why was not it brought to the high court which is seized with the hearing of the CSM case or why didn’t the State Bank of Pakistan and Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) take cognizance of the alleged wrongdoing.

About the former prime minister’s health, he said the incumbent government tried to muddy the health issue, adding the PML-N supreme leader was allowed to go abroad by a medical board on the basis of his medical report.

Malik Ahmed Khan accused the government of indulging in propaganda on Sharif’s health, terming the Punjab government’s latest letter requiring the former premier to submit complete details of his medical reports based on mala fide intentions.

If Pakistani elderly self-distance infections could drop 30%: study

If we do nothing, COVID-19 could infect 206 million Pakistanis and kill 691,000. This is the estimation of researchers from the Imperial College London COVID-19 Response Team who have published country-wise projections in a March 26 report ‘ The Global Impact of COVID-19 and Strategies for Mitigation and Suppression ’ Furthermore, using an infection fatality rate from China, this means 4.4 million Pakistanis would require hospitalisation and from among those, 917,000 individuals would require critical care. Pakistan has a population of 220 million people. The research is based on the infection fatality rate from China, country health care system capacities and that one person with coronavirus is likely to infect 3 others. (You can find the excel sheet with Pakistan numbers here: Imperial-College-COVID19-Global-unmitigated-mitigated-suppression-scenarios.xlsx ) Forty-seven researchers crunched the numbers and made these projections to give countries, including Pakistan, some idea of...
