Members of Bajwa’s immediate and extended family started a new international business, shifted capital abroad, and bought foreign properties.

In this process, a young woman from Lahore became a billionaire nine days prior to becoming the daughter-in-law of the COAS while her other three sisters remained as they were.

This young woman, Mahnoor Sabir got back-dated allocations of eight DHA plots in Gujranwala on October 23, 2018, nine days before her marriage on November 02, 2018, something only possible if one has ownership of land acquired by DHA

On the same day in 2018, the girl also became an owner of a Constitution One Grand Hyatt apartment again in the back dates of 2015.

This was the same time when many politicians were given Constitution One apartments sometime before Saqib Nisar legalized this shady project

The General’s family also started joint business ventures with Sabir “Mithu” Hameed of Lahore (father to Mahnoor and father-in-law of Bajwa’s son) and the same year the Hameed’s started transferring capital outside Pakistan and purchasing properties abroad

The General’s wife Ayesha became a multi-billionaire with large farmhouses in Gulberg Greens Islamabad and Karachi, multiple residential plots in Lahore, and commercial plots and plazas in DHA schemes.

Bajwa’s wife became the owner of two commercial plazas in phase IV and phase VI of DHA Lahore while he was COAS. The General’s wife used to hold money (some half a million dollars) in her United States Dollars (USD) accounts.

FBR records show that the General’s wife was warned multiple times for concealing assets, Fact Focus will release the details of these records in a follow-up report.

The General’s family started an oil business in 2018, Taxx Pakistan, headquartered in Dubai and expanded all over Pakistan within a few months.

Despite many efforts over the last three years, Fact Focus was unable to obtain data about assets in the name of the General’s two sons

When Qamar Javed Bajwa became a lieutenant general, his wife was not even a tax filer. His closest friend in Lahore, Sabir “Mithu” Hameed, was a good businessman but not a billionaire. Everything changed for both families as they moved ahead and become one family.

Within six years, both families become billionaires, started an international business, purchased multiple foreign properties, started transferring capital abroad, become owners of commercial plazas, commercial plots, huge farmhouses in Islamabad and Karachi, an immense real estate portfolio in Lahore, and so on. The current market value of the – known – assets and businesses within Pakistan and outside accumulated by the Bajwa family during the last six years is more than Rs12.7 billion.

A picture emerges, illustrating how the properties of these families increased during the last six years of General Bajwa’s ‘rule’.

Major General Babar Iftikhar was repeatedly approached by this correspondent for three consecutive days but he avoided responding to the calls.

Qamar Javed Bajwa, in his returns for the year 2013, had declared that his wife had three properties in her name. These properties were:

an eight-marla commercial plot in phase-VIII of DHA Lahore (declared value: Rs3,000,000),
one Kanal plot in DHA Islamabad (declared value: Rs1,500,000), and
an eight-marla commercial plot in phase-IV of the DHA Lahore (declared value: Rs2,500,000)

The market values (minimum) of these three and all other assets later accumulated by her during the last six years are given at the end of this section.

General Bajwa initially submitted this return and wealth statement in 2013 on November 30. However, after being appointed COAS he revised the wealth statement for this year three times: on September 17, 2017, November 02, 2017, and November 08, 2017. In the revised wealth statement for the year 2013, General Bajwa added a commercial plot in phase VIII of DHA Lahore. He claimed that in fact he had purchased this plot back in 2013 but forgot to declare. He would continue to forget for the next four years and could only remember his omissions in 2017, one year after becoming army chief.

Ayesha Amjad, the wife of General Bajwa, registered as a tax filer on August 10, 2016. Her husband was to be considered as a candidate for being appointed the next army chief of the country in November 2016. The 2016 annual return and wealth statement was her first-ever declaration with the FBR which was originally submitted on October 28, 2016, just three weeks before Bajwa was appointed the army chief.

2016:

In her 2016 declaration, Ayesha Amjad declared eight “Any Other Assets” without describing them. This wealth statement was however revised on April 17, 2018, when General Bajwa army chief. Declared values were mentioned in the returns. Market values are given below. Ayesha declared that the net value of her assets during the previous financial year, 2015, was zero.

2019:

The tax records for the next year, 2019, show all properties, except one, were maintained and one new property was added.

Ayesha sold one property this year and had a capital gain of Rs 43,000,000. She immediately converted all Pakistan Rupees into United States Dollars. Pakistani currency was devaluing at a rapid pace in those days.

The money in the foreign currency account reached USD 656,030 = PKR 66,083,330.

Amounts in other bank accounts and cash and prize bonds were in the tens of millions and can be checked from the returns.

The following properties were purchased/identified:

Purchased commercial plaza in phase-IV DHA Lahore,
An “Any Other Asset” entry was identified as an eight-marla commercial plaza in phase-VI of DHA Lahore,
500 yards plot in DHA Islamabad (Identified. Earlier it was declared as “Any Other Asset” without a description.)
https://factfocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2019-RW-Ayesha-Amjad.pdf

2020
This year, Ayesha retained all the previous properties and purchased two large farmhouses in Gulberg Greens Islamabad. She also declared Dollar FCA account balance USD 478157.78.

Both new farmhouses were ten Kanal each in sector B of Gulberg Greens Islamabad. Ayesha declared that she had bought one farmhouse for Rs 50,000,000 (and two for Rs 100,000,000). However, the minimum market price of one ten Kanal farmhouse in sector B of Gulberg Greens was Rs 150,000,000. So, two farmhouses would cost Rs 300,000,000 at the minimum. One of these farmhouses was a corner plot at the crossroads of street 9A and street 8. Both farmhouses are adjacent, together with an immense 20 Kanal farmhouse property in the heart of Gulberg. Clearly, this was one of the largest cases of misdeclaration.

Wonder why PMLN leaked this information. They already got their COAS with the blessing of susar ji ... if not then it seems CC want something else and has not agreed to end Nawaz cases, also Mariam leaving Pak in rush is beyond understanding.

:rofl:

Nawaz wants Asim Munir whose their yes man. But Bajwa doesn’t want him to be the next CAOS.

Ball is in Bajwa’s court after alleged leak of his massive and unaccounted wealth.

Let’s see what happens next.

The duffers and crooks are exposing each other to no end.

Seems all the stars are aligning for a fresh start by IK with a defanged establishment and non existent opposition.

Wonder why NAB tweaked ..people of common interest.

Nothing unusual - the family of most top brass much like politicians makes a lot of money.
F&F of previous COAS profited lot from Zia ul Haq to today’s.

The only difference is that Zardari or Nawaz come into the limelight and are picked up when the guns are in power -

But no one is capable of holding the ones with guns accountable.

This isn’t an Army problem - this is a Pakistani problem. Society corrupt to the core will only produce corrupt leadership regardless of which clothes they wear.

Bilkul, when we point the finger at someone, we fail to see three fingers pointing right back at us.

This whole land allocation needs to stop entirely for any government employees. I have never seen or heard of the US Military retiree, getting posh land, and becoming millionaires; instead, they go on lecture circuits, write books, etc., and make themselves useful to society.
 
. .
I remember saying to my dad the Bajwa became COAS that this mf will single-handedly ruin the army's reputation it seems like I was spot on this maderxh*d is a sore in the eye.

My father's word's when this soor ki aulad become COAS, "lagta nai is ka gita sa upar dimak ma akal gai." He was spot on.

asim bajwa

I have enough data on his family's U.S. business, BAJCO Group, based out of Ohio.
Besides Papa John's, they hold a vast portfolio of real estate.

A US general is possible worth a million when they retire - but all of that is completely from their pay scale and their numbers are limited.

There are all sorts of incentives for veterans but nothing is free. For e.g Veterans can finance a home at 0% interest but that home has to be pristine and goes through tougher inspections to make sure the vet isn’t using the loan for a house flipping business.

Checks and balances

I am glad people begning to realise what mass Pakistani army is in. When I wrote about Kiyani and Bajwa, my posts at time were deleted. Kiyani was corrupt, sold Pakistan to USA, OBL fiasco and others. Bajwa is corrupt sold Pakisttani to USA, Regime Change. The story is similar, cowards, traitors and corrupt thugs. How they reached to the position of COAS!!
They should be court martial. And all those who used to delete posts and ban people due to criticism of Pak Generals so also be ashamed of themselves, you were doing no favours to Pakistan.

There is a lot of corruption is in the US army, a lot of generals get cushy jobs in Lockheed martin etc, simply for voting in favor of certain weapons systems
And that KFC guy - im not sure which branch he was a colonel in, but he looked corrupt and started a franchise with ill gotten $$$$.
 
.
There are check and balances of different types. Pakistan has checks and balances too. Obviously. :D
The only balance I saw in Pakistan was my own going down every year on the forced zakat withdrawl and I could check it by seeing the Zakat and Ushr guy upgrade his 2crore Land Cruiser every year

Pakistan Orders Probe Into Leak After Report on Army Chief’s Family Wealth​

(Bloomberg) -- Pakistan ordered an investigation into an alleged leak of confidential tax documents after an online news portal published a report about army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s family amassing property worth billions of rupees during his term in office.
Most Read from Bloomberg
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar “has taken serious notice of the illegal and unwarranted leakage of tax information of the family members of General Qamar Javed Bajwa,” according to a statement released by the Finance Ministry on Monday. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s special assistant on revenue Tariq Mehmood Pasha will investigate the matter and submit a report in 24-hours, it said.
The order came after the Fact Focus news portal reported Bajwa’s family members became billionaires since his appointment to the powerful post in 2016. Reporting on military matters is considered extremely sensitive in the South Asian nation, where the institution holds great power over elected governments. The army has ruled Pakistan directly for almost half its independent history since its creation in 1947.
Bajwa’s wife and other family members made investments in real estate and the oil business and transferred funds overseas since he took charge of the army, Ahmad Noorani, a Pakistani journalist who lives in the US, reported.
Inter-Services Public Relations, the army’s media wing, referred Bloomberg to the Finance Ministry statement when reached for comment.
Bajwa is set to retire on Nov. 29 after six years in office.
Two years ago, retired general Asim Saleem Bajwa resigned as special assistant to then Prime Minister Imran Khan after the same website reported his family piled up wealth in the US including owning franchises of Papa John’s International Inc. He had denied any wrongdoing.
