Ahsan Iqbal demands apology from Imran over Chinese assistance remarks

[Edevelop]

ISLAMABAD- Ahsan Iqbal, Federal Minister for Planning, Development & Reform, who heads China Pakistan Economic Corridor Joint Coordination Committee from Pakistani side has strongly condemned Imran Khan baseless allegations against Chinese assistance to Pakistan under "China Pakistan
Economic Corridor" and demanded an immediate apology from him.

He said, "Pakistan and China are closest friends and enjoy time tested all weather friendship. At a time when international investors were shying away from Pakistan due to security environment in the region, decision of Chinese and Pakistani leadership during PM Nawaz Sharif's visit to Beijing in July, 13 to take Pak-China relations to new heights in economic field through China Pakistan Economic Corridor Project was a milestone. The most critical energy and infrastructure sectors related projects will inject new life
into Pakistan's economy. The commitment of Chinese government to help Pakistan overcome its energy shortages through energy projects is a proof that friend in need is friend indeed. All 10,400 mw coal, hydel, solar, and wind based energy projects. As early harvest projects are in IPP mode as investment projects contrary to Mr. Khan's assertion that these projects are being financed through borrowing. These projects are coming under energy policy which is open for all investors from any part of the world.
Hence the assertion that expensive contracts have been signed with China is baseless and mala fide."

He said, "It is not expected from a leader of the stature of Mr Khan, whose party is ruling KPK province that he would show such immaturity and irresponsibility. Mr Khan has alleged that these loans are being taken at 7% interest, which is incorrect as these projects are not loans but coming as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the country. Today there is a mad race among all countries to attract maximum FDI for higher growth rates. Energy Projects with Chinese assistance are a source of oxygen for our
economy, which will not only push growth rate of economy upwards by solving energy crisis but also help create millions of new jobs. Mr Khan has alleged that government leaders are getting kickbacks and commission through these projects is shameful act on his part because he has indirectly embarrassed our closest friend by implying that it is indulging in unfair practices. Mr Khan owes an apology to people of Pakistan and China for making such irresponsible statements and allegations. His untimely and undemocratic tactics in the capital caused postponement of Chinese President's visit to Pakistan and now he is making China Pakistan Projects controversial. People of Pakistan want to know whose agenda is he following."

He said, "Pakistan and China are bound in strongest bond of friendship, which is beyond political divide, and people of Pakistan are indebted to Chinese leadership for showing strong commitment to help Pakistan overcome energy crisis. The President of China, Mr. Xi Jinping, who is a great friend of Pakistan, will soon visit Pakistan."

Ahsan Iqbal demands apology from Imran over Chinese assistance remarks

Imran has a habit of shooting unsubstantiated allegations, we can make a thread about his stupid remarks, best ones I like so far are:
- NS ab tuk 1000 arab rupiah ka commission le chuka hay
- Pakistan ne first 60 years me 39 billion ka qarza lya tha, NS ke aik saal main 50 billion se zyada ke qarzey lye hain.

the best part, the clueless youth believes it.

my advise to a guy who is educated in political science from oxford; the major chosen by student who dont get any other; and played cricket all is life is to stay away from number games

Yes, prove it clueless:

In the early eighties, after that Nawaz Sharif had completed his education his father Mian Muhammad Sharif started him in the business. However, this proved a disaster. As a second option Mian Muhammad Sharif set him up with Pakistani actor Saeed Khan Rangeela to get him into acting (something which Nawaz Sharif wanted).

A few days later Saeed Khan Rangeela sent his regrets to Mian Muhammad Sharif saying that his son was too dumb for acting and movie industry. Mian Muhammad Sharif then a cricket coaches to train his son for cricket, but his physical fitness was too low for the sport. It is rumored that by mid-day on his first day at training Nawaz Sharif threw the bat down and left the stadium saying, “This is too tough for me.” As a last resort he paid General Ghulam Jilani Khan a considerable sum of monies to introduce Nawaz Sharif to General Zia-ul-Haq recommending him for a political post, who in turn made Nawaz Sharif the Finance Minister of Punjab. This was the day when the street thugs of Mohni Road had stepped on to becoming the national thugs of Pakistan.

The day Nawaz Sharif had become Finance Minister, the entire family’s earnings were few million rupees and had only one refinery. From there they went on to: Ittefaq Sugar Mills was set up in 1982, Brothers steel in 1983, Brother’s Textile Mills in 1986, Brothers Sugar Mills Ltd in 1986, Ittefaq Textile units in 2-3 in 1987, Khalid Siraj Textile Mills in 1988, Ramzan Buksh Textiles in 1987, Farooq Barkat (pvt) Ltd in 1985. By the time of Zia ul Haq’s fateful plane crash, Mian Muhammad Sharif’s family was earning a net profit of US$ 3 million, up from a few million rupees. By the end of the decade their net assets were worth more than 6 billion rupees, according to their own admission, nearly US$ 350 million at the time. But this turned out to be small-change when Nawaz Sharif became the Prime Minister.

When Nawaz Sharif became prime minister, the group took a decision to secure project loans from the foreign banks and only working capital were taken from the nationalized commercial banks. The project financing from foreign banks was ostensibly secured against the foreign currency deposits, a number of which were held in benamee accounts, as repeatedly claimed by Interior Minister Naseer Ullah Babar at his press conferences. In 1992 Salman Taseer released an account of Nawaz Sharif’s corruption stating that the family had taken loans of up to 12 billion rupees, which were never paid back. On March 2, 1994, Khalid Siraj, a cousin of Nawaz Sharif claimed that the assets of the seven brothers were valued at Rs 21 billion.

These were the accounts of profits and companies which were openly known to public. However, the family kept their side business going all the while ” the gambling dens and heroin control in Lahore ” and along with their industry the side business also mushroomed.

During the Afghan-Soviet War Nawaz Sharif’s cousin Sohail Zia Butt started working under the drug baron Mirza Iqbal Beg, then Pakistan’s second biggest drug lord after Ayub Afridi. Mian Muhammad Sharif and his sons had a permanent share in his gambling and heroin business. In 1990 Suhail Butt won a seat on the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad ticket in the Punjab Assembly. It was through Sohail Butt’s association that Nawaz Sharif became a close associate of Mirza Iqbal Beg. It was through him that Nawaz Sharif became benami owner of many of the privatized government entities, such as Muslim Commercial Bank. Sohail Zia Butt other than getting involved in the drug business made billions in the co-operative societies’ collapse, mainly through the National Industrial Credit and Finance Corporation. It was Nawaz Sharif’s share in his cousin’s drug business which he used to buy off the generals thereby delaying the inevitable dismissal of his government.

In 1995 when Mirza Iqbal Beg was imprisoned, Sohail Zia Butt took over his drug empire. It is at this time that he became one of the biggest drug and crime bosses in Pakistan and was nicknamed the “King of Hera Mandi” and at one time all six underworld gangs of Lahore were working under him.

By 1995 family’s declared annual profits from industrial units had increased 1500% from US$ 30 million to staggering US$ 400 million.

This is the short version of how in mere 15 years small street thugs running gambling dens became leaders of a country running narcotics, underworld and smuggling empires, untouched by everyone.
Nawaz Sharif Corruption

.

I say it again, the best part of all this is that clueless youth believes it because logical thinking is scarce in Pakistan people tend to believe whatever is written, thinking behind is that if he can write he must be right.

It's DEMOCRAZY & protection of lies is what these corrupt bastards are really worry about, not Pakistan.

From no on, off topic derailments on political threads will lead to direct thread ban. The topic is the statement which in essence also implicates China for corruption. Stick to that.

Good call.

By thread banning the initial off topic trolls, you'll also prevent the from going off topic anymore by subsequent posters

President Xi Jingping’s visit: China says it gave no information to Pakistan

liars should apologize and leave politics as in any civilized person would do, and die in shame, if any !

 

[Jazzbot]

The King of Ahsan Iqbal, lord Nawaz Sharif bin Abdul Aziz lied on the floor of the house, not too long ago. Did he demand any apology from this highness for that?

Not True.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Qin Gang's Remarks on the Postponement of President Xi Jinping's Visit to Pakistan

Q: It is reported that the Pakistani side announced that President Xi Jinping's visit to Pakistan has been postponed. Please confirm that.

A: China and Pakistan have been maintaining communication for some time on President's Xi Jinping's state visit to Pakistan in mid September, and have made productive preparation for this visit. In view of the current political situation in Pakistan, the Governments of China and Pakistan have mutually agreed to postponement of the state visit of President Xi Jinping to Pakistan, which was scheduled to take place later this month. New dates for President Xi Jinping's visit to Pakistan, at an early date, are being finalized through diplomatic channels.

Both countries underline that China and Pakistan are time-tested all-weather friends. Both sides attach high importance to the visit of President Xi Jinping to Pakistan, as early as possible, for promoting mutually beneficial cooperation between the two.

Nawaz is a Raw asset
