President Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in United Kingdom, Zubair Gull Thursday filed a complaint with two relevant bodies in the country showing suspicions about the usage of funds raised by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan apparently for the cancer hospital, seeking thorough enquiry into the matter.
In his complaint filed with the Fund Raising Standards Board and the Charity Commission of UK, the complainant raised the matter involving PTI holding several fundraising events in the UK.
He said Khan has in the past and on a regular basis held fund raising events in the UK those had been publicized as fundraisers for the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Research Hospital in Pakistan.
“However, what has never been publicized or made transparent was the application of the funds raised,” he said.
The PML-N leader said the donors have never received any qualified or independent audit on how the money was distributed or spent.
“What is particularly disconcerting is lack of transparency between Khan’s political aspirations and charitable aims. Mr Khan is synonymous with both Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and Shaukat Khanum Cancer Research Hospital,” the complainant contended.
He maintained that the blurred lines between Imran Khan’s political ambitions and his involvement in charitable work invited suspicions that funds raised for ostensible charitable purposes in a society with a fragile democracy,” the complainant observed.
