The one thing IK is good in it is accusing people from that container but never presents any evidence.

We know that it is very difficult to break the status-quo, needs a lot of concentrated efforts. We know it is just a matter of time. The status-quo will definitely broken. Just stay and keep the moral and motivation high.

If IK calls Abbasi a drug pusher, what is wrong in it?

Hanif Abbasi? Ummm Yeah!

Another stunt by Mr Abbasi. I am astonished how Mr Abbasi can be made the chairman of Metro Bus committee, it seems to me that in order to get a good job from PMLN you have to be either a family member, influential friend or have experience of fraud and corruption. Mr Abbasi fits the bill well.

What qualifications does Mr Abbasi have to be involved in the Metro Project?

What is your qualification that you had recently been promoted as Chairman Metro Bus Project Committee??? I am asking you this question because your blind followers never will....

I dont think his reputation is worth 1 Bn rupees - probably Rs 15

Send all nation a legal notice as you really are the drug dealer. You are a shame for the public of Rawalpindi. How many homes have been destroyed through your ephedrine deal? Abbasi, his brother and five employees of his Grey Pharmaceuticals had also been accused in the past by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) of misusing 500kg controlled chemical ephedrine and for selling it to narcotics smugglers.

The last para revealed the whole essence of this story.

For Information Hanif Abassi is one of the Main accused in Effadrine case .Effadrine case is one in Which Supereme court has given the Judgement and has held Mr Hanif Abbasi accountable of selling Effadrine .Obviously it makes Mr Hanif Abbasi an drug pusher .

sooner our courts will become laughing stock around the world, like our politicians. where an indicted hanif can send defamation notice to IK .......... lolz, funny and sorry state.... and just check the wisdom, knowledge of PMLN who nominated hanif as chairman for metro project.... another money minting exercise in offing for hanif and co. regardless of this, hanif being rewarded for his dead rally during Islamabad sit-ins by PTI. wow, what will make our so called PM to think better ( if at all ).

@Sheraz what qualification Pervez khattak has to build Metro?

imran is just an old retired man, who has nothing to do therefore just killing time of nation - blaming others without any solid proof.

Let me put it this way. If Imran is 10 in integrity where 10 is the highest and 0 the lowest. Mr. Abbasi will be minus a billion.

@Ifzal you mean 15 paisa istead, don't you ?

Everyone knows about Hanif Abassi. He has a case pending in court. Actions like this (sending notices) will only push IK to an stronger future step. Problem with PMLN is that they believe that situation is in control & is time to reach for neck. BUT, soon they will again grab IKs feets.

The ANF which consists of senior army officers say about the same thing...........and most people believe them.

Well what ever the matter is, there is no doubt in questioning the ability of PML-N Govt that puts a well disputed person on the top of a public project "Metro Bus". This is a dynasty like of government elected by us worshippers, been tranquilized with dreams for a state where they not have to struggle and work for their needs.

@horror come on be bit logical. if you want to see evidences please see cases against ministers in NAB, it's a different question that the status quo forces has made NAB as the govt body unfortunately so that no one, again no one has been proven guilty in the history of NAB. The reason is not the the cases against top officials were fraud but that the cases had been closed for one reason or other. Even this reports says that Abbasi has been accused by ANF .... question is did he ever go through the fair trail for it? never! Unfortunately, we have two laws in this country. One is for rich (top elites) and the other is for poor. Is there a single case against a poor who has not been punished and not been punished severely when he/she breaks the law. None! And conversely had there been a case when a person from elite class been prosecuted when he breaks the law or does a corruption of billion of rupees. So far none! Wake up Pakistan and fight against such people who supports two laws in the country.

Well done imran keep blowing the whistle

Is the reputation of corrupt peoples worth 1 billion. I think even 5000 is more. Justice demands arrest of such corrupt leaders with direction to prove their innocence.

@Saad He is the chief minister of KPK. Hamid Abbasi is not anything apart from a corrupt politician

@Hasnain Haque Wht is the qualification of Ik to be the PM?

@horror Evidence? Read the last paragraph!!

The last paragraph in the article explains why Imran Khan has called him a drug pusher. The whole country knows he is one, so I think he should sue the whole country!

My Dear Khan, Please sell out your Banigala residence and pay PKR 1.0 Billion to Excellency Hanif Abbasi, the honorable Chairman Metro Bus Project Committee. Possibly, this amount shall be invested in the business activities of Grey Pharmaceuticals. In future, you mention him in your gatherings as "a respectable businessman turned parliamentarian of PML-N who sells controlled chemical ephedrine."

Hanif Abbasi is one person PMLN should get rid of. This man has no manners, no logic and every time he opens his mouth, the ratings of PMLN go down even further. His lack of manners and his non existing oratory skills make me wonder as to why PMLN would send someone like him to defend itself who only manages to damage it more?.

@responsible Status quo must not be broken before 5 year completion of democratic term. Pakistan is touching stone age due to bringing down the democratic structure again and again. We have not been able to organize and evolve our institutions. Please simplify your mind if you have any concern with or respect for Pakistan.

The point is why some one irresponsible gets to be selected to run a doubtful metro project whilst I don not see Mr Abbasi suing the initial orignal complainant in the first place

@zafar FYI! the overall GDP growth rates during all 4 dictatorships were far greater than status-quo. Life of an ordinary citizen was better during the era of all 4 dictators including Musharraf. I am not saying it myself, read CIA FactBook and countless studies done by Forbes, Economics and other independent organizations Would that justify Dictatorship in our country? No.

@ Dr Azeem IK is not the PM is he.

Well his company name implies very well of his Grey character.

As a judge, I would give a verdict in favor of Mr. Abbasi on this one and ask IK to pay Mr. Abbasi what his reputation is truly worth: a fair estimate would be anywhere between 1 to 10 annay :)

@horror : It is not accusation it is the truth that Hanif ABBASI and Abdul Qadir Gilani are accused of smuggling drug to another country. What would say to that,I suggest you should read the media report of last year.

Abbasi is already accused in a case, he also lost his election, he has involved in corruption, all are proved and now has been appointed Chairman of 70 Billion Rupees Bus Service, Wow, a very good decision by the Prime Minister of Pakistan, this shows the level of IQ and also shows that PM like corrupt people.

the government should just let him sit there forever, no need to respond to immature policitican

@Shaheen Changezi I did not read the last para. But when I read your comment. I went back and read it. And you wers pot on. It says it all.

@responsible i agree with u pal

I know why Mr. Abbasi ws made Chairman Metro Bus Project Committee. It would be definitely easy to transport drugs with Metro bus. Large quantities at cheaper rates. He is a genius.

@Hasnain Haque .... connection and political affiliation what else... do you live in Pakistan. you should know it by now...

@Hasnain Haque.... The best Qualification for any key post is to have a good Memory, be a yes man and a good political affiliation... the greatest example is the the past and the present president of Pakistan

@Ifzal.... Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.....

@Saad Pervez Khattak is democratically elected CM like Shabaz sharif.

Now every corrupt is sending defamation notice to IK. What a joke!

@ Dr Azeem .. Imran Khan graduted in Politics and Economins with Honors in 1975. He has a vision and a corruption free track record. Now what are thequalifications of Nawaz? The guy cant even talk to public or hold his own in a live debate. Imran Khan has been answering questions live to every critic in Pak, US, UK and even in India.

So when are you apologizing Mr. Khan?

@horror That's absolutely true. Unfortunately what you fail to realize is the fact that most of the institutes in the country are corrupt and have failed, including the police and judiciary. It is right that an individual can investigate and collect evidence on his own. However if a case is registered against someone, it becomes a duty of the police to investigate the entire matter and collect all information to present in the courts. Keep in mind that all this would only happen when the police registers a case. Firstly, that won't happen because police is always hesitant to file cases against powerful men. If they do register a case, these politicians are powerful enough to keep delaying the proceedings and/or resist giving out information. Finally, if all the evidence is collected and presented in the courts, the judges can be bought to alter decisions. Think for yourself, If an MNA from your constituency gets into a fight with you and gets you beaten up real bad. Do you think the police is going to arrest him? Interestingly, YOU will be the first one yelling out against the MNA on media without any evidence. So yeah, good luck with getting justice in Pakistan.

@horror in case you are not aware of it, there is a show called 'kharra sach' on ARY news and there you can find every evidence for all the allegations leveled at anyone being mentioned by IK in his speeches. Oh wait, but that show has been banned by the honorable govt. and judiciary! But in your heart of hearts you probably don't care about any evidence do you? You just wanted to say something pseudo-intellectual against IK and we understand your pain!

@horror What a logic, what kind of evidence we need in Pakistan what is going on here for the last 78 years, That is clear proof. Evidence is meaningless, until & unless a transparent accountability is not started.
