PPP stalwart Khursheed Shah arrested by NAB

[Syed1]

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday arrested senior PPP leader Syed Khursheed Shah in a case regarding his alleged assets beyond means.

"NAB Sukkur has arrested Syed Khursheed Shah in the assets beyond means case," a brief handwritten statement issued by NAB Islamabad said.

He will be presented before the relevant accountability court in Sukkur for remand tomorrow, the press release added.

The PPP stalwart was arrested in a joint operation by NAB's Rawalpindi and Sukkur chapters, DawnNewsTV reported. He will remain in NAB Rawalpindi's custody tonight.

Shah was taken away by nearly 20 personnel of NAB and police during a raid at his Islamabad residence, the domestic staff at his house told DawnNewsTV.

They claimed that the NAB and police personnel had neither allowed any discussion nor let the servants take out their mobile phones before they took Shah away with them.

PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has called a press conference in the wake of Shah's arrest.

Reacting to the development, PPP senior leader Sherry Rehman said Shah, an MNA, was arrested while the National Assembly session was underway without intimating the NA speaker to "further your condemnable objectives".

"On one hand we say that the law of jungle is prevailing in the world through which Kashmir is being subjected to state oppression; it appears that something similar is happening here."

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, another PPP leader, termed Shah's arrest a "very wrong step" on the part of the government.

"Had Khursheed Shah sahib run away from the country? Had to refused to attend any inquiry against him?" he questioned. He added that the arrest will harm the expression of unity that is currently required of the nation.

Who is Khursheed Shah?
Born in 1952, Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah hails from Sindh’s Sukkur region, which he went on to represent as an MPA and later as MNA. He studied at Sukkur’s Islamia College and obtained the degrees of MA and LLB.

He was elected to the Sindh Assembly in 1988 during which he was made a provincial minister holding a wide range of portfolios – education, import and transport being some of them. He made his way to the parliament in 1990.

Shah also served as a federal minister for education in 1993, during slain PPP leader, Benazir Bhutto's second government. In 2008, he was elected from NA-199 (Sukkur cum Shikarpur-II), PPP and became minister for labour and human resources. He was made the federal minister for religious affairs in 2010.

In 2013, he was elected from NA-199 (Sukkur-cum-Shikarpur-II), PPP and became the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly.

He was elected to the National Assembly once again in 2018, as he won NA-206 (Sukkur-1) and was the opposition's joint nominee for speaker's position.

Shah enjoys an influential position in the PPP and was its chief whip in the 2008-2013 National Assembly. He is considered a trouble-shooter as far as relations with other parties are concerned, mainly on account of his good connections with all political parties.

Babar Awan roams free? He was included in a NAB reference and duly resigned. I do not know what the case is against him but last he heard he cleared his name by providing evidence. Why don't Nawaz and the Bhutto/Zardaris and their pawns provide evidence?


What are the cases against the other folks that you mentioned. Or are they just figment of your imagination.




So Khursheed Shah went from a WAPDA meter reader to owning billions upon billions after joining politics and then paindu people say it is "political victimization"..... I say we need more of this political victimization. Paindus can keep crying. They have four more years of crying ahead of them, maybe more, since their lord and saviour Nawaz Sharif is disqualified for life and his heir to the throne for the next 10 years.

Yes I'm the one who is politically brainwashed, yet you are the one who thinks a guy who went from being a Wapda meter reader to having assets worth billions upon billions is being subject to political victimization.

Waste of time and resource, too many loophole to avoid giving stolen money back.

Pakistan needs to follow MBS model, arrest them all, give them danda until they start to empty out their pockets.

Yes economy was flourishing under Noora and rivers of milk and honey were flowing. Just ignore the fact that government was facing $20b in current account deficit every year and trade deficit was reaching $40b with rapid rise in imports and exports stagnant for 5 years.

Bro. Can I be honest with you? I have cousins who react the same way as you and they're all 18-20 year olds and honestly I don't hold anything against them because they're too naive. I think of you the same way. I might be wrong but in all honestly I don't care much about Nawaz or Bhutto or whatever in the end I care about Pakistan and my opinions or statements reflect that.

I think of you as my younger cousins who are extremely patriotic but do not understand the larger picture. I love your enthusiasm and your patriotism and hope it always stays this way however, please try to take a neutral stand at things and look at everything from all the different perspectives maybe then you will understand where I come from.

Current account deficit is not the only metric to measure economy. That's one of the several. Please stop using this as a measure of economy.

Indeed , big time criminals in Pakistan should always associate themselves with a political party and take a strong stance against the government - as then you can easily pull out the political victimisation card when in trouble.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

The sad part is, all these thieves have millions of dollars all around the world which even NAB doesn't know about.

Shameless people, looting money off poor people. May they rot in hell.

I ask you again.
What has Zulfi Bukhari done?

There is an open case against him at NAB something to do with offshore companies and tax evasion. Google for details. Last news stories about the case were end of last year when he was placed on ECL and according to NAB wasn’t cooperating with the inquiry and then it all went silent.

Unlike the PML's case i feel next to sympathy when a PPP politician is ensnared. Jab ehtisab zyada hota hai tau zyada jiyalay jail jaate hein.

Suprising because he spent most of his life here in London, ran some successful businesses and as it was here in London I can only assume he paid his taxes here otherwise HMRC would surely be after him.

lol I love this attitude of PTI supporters every time you put facts before them they resort to insults.

You can actually see it on all political threads. In fact scroll up and you will see it here as well.

99pct of the facts put forward by people like you are fake news.

You are a condescending little person who pitches up on any thread that is remotely attacking PTI (like a few others here on PP), and then you use the same argument, i.e PTI voters being like cult supporters.
