Asad Umar Excellent Words for Imran Khan by declaring him Real Leader
THE TRUTH
Senator (1k+ posts)
We want a leader who's not after building his personal luxurious life, who will never sacrifice his country for his own interest like bhutto did, who will sacrifice his most precious days, his most precious time for the sake of his country and will not accumulate the heaps of money in return...
This leader has come ... This leader is IK
IK and Bhutto are no comparison at all. They are poles apart.
People followed Bhutto as their leaderBUT he misguided them....took them away from their destination and gave them a 'CORRUPT' pakistan...a country of CORRUPT politicians.
BUT
People now follow IK as their leader AND he would lead them to their true destination. A Prosperous Pakistan...A country of True Patriots like Asad Omar.

If Bhutto was a true leader, then he would not have let break up of the country, ruin Pak economy by nationalizing all private enterprizes, rig 1977 elections, and the list goes on. He was a demogogue , compulsive liar, self-centred and an egomaniac.
bhai patwartion k leader ne un ko chota laptop hi dia hai .. kon c koi aqal ki baat ki hai ............... IK ne poori qaum ko aik vision diya hai personal examples k sath

[h=1]$418m corruption by Nawaz during his stints as PM: Book[/h]
ONLINE Sunday, 1 Jul 2012 1:31 pm | Comments (62)
ISLAMABAD - PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif made financial gains of $418 million during his twice stints as Prime Minister of the country, according to a book entitled Capitalism’s Achilles Heel by Raymond W Baker.
The book is a dossier on the corruption of most dominated political families in the history including Nawaz Sharif and how they accumulated their properties, factories and enormous wealth.
According to the book, at least $160 million were pocketed by Nawaz Sharif during his first stint as the Prime Minister in the 1990, from a contract to build a highway from Lahore, his home town, to Islamabad, the nation’s capital.
At least $140 million in unsecured loans from Pakistan’s state banks. More than $60 million generated from government rebates on sugar exported by mills controlled by Mr. Sharif and his business associates.
At least $58 million skimmed from prices paid for imported wheat from the United States and Canada. In the wheat deal, Mr. Sharif’s government paid prices far above market value to a private company owned by a close associate of his in Washington, the records show. Falsely in?ated invoices for the wheat generated tens of millions of dollars in cash.
The book review went on to state that “The extent and magnitude of this corruption is so staggering that it has put the very integrity of the country at stake.”
Under Sharif, unpaid bank loans and massive tax evasion remained the favorite ways to get rich.
Upon his loss of power the usurping government published a list of 322 of the largest loan defaulters, representing almost $3 billion out of $4 billion owed to banks. Sharif and his family were tagged for $60 million.
Like Bhutto, offshore companies have been linked to Sharif, three in the British Virgin Islands by the names of Nescoll, Nielson, and Shamrock and another in the Channel Islands known as Chandron Jersey Pvt. Ltd. Some of these entities allegedly were used to facilitate purchase of four rather grand flats on Park Lane in London, at various times occupied by Sharif family members.
In 1999 Musharraf had Sharif probed, tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison, but then in 2000 exiled him to Saudi Arabia. Twenty-two containers of carpets and furniture followed, and, of course, his foreign accounts remained mostly intact. Ensconced in a glittering palace in Jeddah, he is described as looking “corpulent” amidst “opulent” surroundings.
