What is more funny is that a tabloid according to steyn finds it worth it's while to print a story about looting by the Sharif family concerning money that UK government had given for disaster affected poor people.
UK government is as much reliable as is USA, WMD remember? Lady Diana's murder has been solved? 2Biggies only for you to consider.

برطانوی امدادی ادارے ڈپارٹمنٹ آف انٹرنیشنل ڈیویلپمنٹ ( ڈی ایف آئی ڈی) نے شریف خاندان کی جانب سے زلزلہ زدگان کی رقم چوری کرنے سے متعلق ڈیلی میل کی خبر کی تردید کر دی۔
برطانوی اخبار ڈیلی میل نے اپنی رپورٹ میں دعویٰ کیا تھا کہ شہباز شریف کے دور حکومت میں برطانوی امدادی ادارے کی جانب سے حکومت پنجاب کو 50 کروڑ پاؤنڈ دیئے تھے جس میں سے رقم چوری کی گئی۔
اب برطانوی امدادی ادارے ڈپارٹمنٹ آف انٹرنیشنل ڈیویلپمنٹ کی جانب سے بھی اس حوالے سے وضاحتی بیان جاری کیا گیا ہے جس میں ڈیلی میل کی خبر کی تردید کی گئی ہے۔
ڈی ایف آئی ڈی کے مطابق ڈیلی میل نے اپنی اسٹوری کو سچ ثابت کرنے کے لیے کم ثبوت پیش کیے۔
بیان میں کہا گیا ہے کہ 2005 کے زلزلے کے بعد برطانیہ کی جانب سے حکومت پنجاب کے ارتھ کوئک ریلیف اینڈ ری کنسٹرکشن اتھارٹی (اررا) کو اسکولوں کی تعمیر کے لیے امداد دی گئی جو تعمیر ہوئے اور جن کا آڈٹ بھی کیا گیا۔
ڈی ایف آئی ڈی کے ترجمان نے اپنے بیان میں یہ بھی کہا ہے کہ برطانوی ٹیکس دہندگان کا پیسہ بالکل ٹھیک جگہ پر خرچ ہوا اور اس امدادی رقم کے ذریعے زلزلہ متاثرین کی مدد کی گئی، ہم پراعتماد ہیں کہ برطانوی ٹیکس دہندگان کے پیسے کو فراڈ سے محفوظ رکھا گیا۔


LAHORE (Dunya News) – The Britain’s Department for International Development (DFID) on Sunday rejected a report published by Daily Mail alleging Sharif family of laundering quake victims’ aid money and embezzling tens of millions of pounds of public money to Britain.

In a statement issued by the DFID clearly stated that the construction of school from the aid had been completed and an audit had also been conducted in this regard.

It further stated that the British tabloid failed to provide evidence regarding its news report, adding that the tax payer’s money had been protected from any fraud.

“The UK taxpayer got exactly what it paid for and helped the vulnerable victims of a devastating earthquake. We are confident our robust systems protected UK taxpayers from fraud.”

It is pertinent to mention The Mail on Sunday has campaigned against Britain’s policy of spending 0.7 percent of national income, currently about £14 billion a year, on foreign aid.

The only named official in The Mail article is Assets Recovery Unit Chief Shahzad Akbar. "Our investigations have already uncovered evidence of money-laundering on a vast scale, much of it conducted via the UK," Akbar is quoted as saying.

ابے رنڈی کی اولاد
، یہ ذہنی مریض، 75٪ پاگل امرتسری بھڑوا المعروف جوکرِ اعلیٰ
کبھی بھی عدالت نہیں جائے گا

اِس طرح کی بھڑکیں اِن حرامزادوں نے
پہلے بھی ڈیلی میل کے خلاف ماری تھی، اور پھر عادی چوروں کی طرح
لتّر کھا کر چادر جھاڑتے ہوئے چلتے بنے

لگتا ہے عمران پاشا کو شہزاد اکبر جیسے لوگ الوّ بنا رہے ہیں، تبھی ڈیوڈ روز یہودی کی محنت پر چند گھنٹوں میں پانی پھر گیا۔
شہزاد اکبر کو ہٹا کر اس کی جگہ آصف غفور کو نوکری دے دو، کم سے کم ٹوئیٹر ہینڈل پر شغل میلہ لگا رہے گا۔

ابے بھڑوے کی اولاد، اگر اِس صحافی کے خلاف
تیرے یہ امرتسری بھڑوے برطانوی عدالت نہیں گئے، تو
کپتان کے شیرو اور موٹو سے تیری گانڈ مرواؤں گا

The United Kingdom government-owned agency Department for International Development (DFID) has refuted claims made by The Mail on Sunday of aid money being embezzled and laundered by Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif and his family.

Rejecting the assumption that UK taxpayers’ cash meant for earthquake victims was stolen by Shehbaz, DFID maintained that “our robust systems protected UK taxpayers from fraud”.

In a statement, a DFID spokesperson said: “The UK’s financial support to ERRA over this period was for payment by results – which means we only gave money once the agreed work, which was primarily focused on building schools, was completed, and the work audited and verified.

“The UK taxpayer got exactly what it paid for and helped the vulnerable victims of a devastating earthquake. We are confident our robust systems protected UK taxpayers from fraud.”

The aid agency said The Mail on Sunday “provides little substantial evidence to support its headline” and that Shehbaz “denies any wrongdoing”.

“It [The Mail on Sunday article] says investigators in Pakistan “are convinced that some of the allegedly stolen money came from DFID-funded aid projects” without providing any substantial evidence this was the case with the earthquake fund,” said the DFID spokesperson.

“The piece goes on to quote Shahzad Akbar, Imran Khan’s Asset Recovery Unit chief, saying it “appears” some money “may” have been stolen from aid and development projects, again without offering any substantial evidence this was the case with ERRA,” the statement added.

“DFID also gave The Mail on Sunday some background on its work in Pakistan. We told the paper how DFID’s work is lifting millions of the poorest people out of poverty whilst improving stability and security in both the UK and Pakistan, which ultimately benefits the UK as well.”

“Over 10 million children in primary schools – including 4.7 million girls – have benefited from UK education programmes since 2011. Over 5.8 million children in secondary schools, including 2.7 million girls, have also benefited from our work,” the spokesperson added.

“In addition, the UK has supported over 8 million people in Pakistan following natural disasters and conflict since 2011.”

DFID’s denial came in the wake of a report published by The Mail on Sunday accusing former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz and his family of allegedly embezzling money from aid given by the DFID and laundering it in the UK.
