Asghar letter reveals tainted politicians, sums received
2012-10-20
[Pak Daily Times] Air Marshal Asghar Khan on June 16, 1996, wrote a letter to former chief justice of Pakistain Sajjad Ali Shah which contained the names of politicians who received money in 1990.

Some of the people on the list and the money they received is as follows: Nawaz Sharif

, Rs 3.5 million; Mir Afzal Khan, Rs10 million; Lt Gen Rafaqat, Rs 5.6 million for distribution among journalists; Abida Hussain, Rs 1 million; Jamat-e-Islami Rs 5 million; Altaf Hussain Qureshi, Rs500,000; Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, Rs 5 million (Sindh); Jam Sadiq, Rs 5 million (Sindh); Muhammad Khan Junejo, Rs 250,000 (Sindh); Pir Pagara Rs 2 million (Sindh); Maulana Salahuddin, Rs 300,000 (Sindh); different small groups in Sindh Rs 5.4 million and Humayun Marri Rs 1.5 million (Balochistan

). The letter also contained the names of Bazenjo and Kakar tribes.

Younis Habib Habib, Mehran Bank's chief executive, in March 2012 had informed newsmen that MQM chief Altaf Hussain was given Rs 20 million, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif Rs3.5 million and his brother Shahbaz Sharif was given Rs 2.5 million. The court in March 2012 also took notice of a news item that the ruling Pakistain People's Party withdrew Rs 270 million from the secret fund of the Intelligence Bureau for pushing its agenda in Punjab in 2009 but it did not mention this case in the short order.
