According to documents, Imran Khan flood fund was Rs4.8 billion for flood victims.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) opened three bank accounts—one in each of the Bank of Punjab, Bank of Khyber, and National Bank of Pakistan—to collect money.
Senator Dr. Sania Nishtar revealed that Imran Khan’s live telethons received pledges amounting to Rs15 billion, of which Rs4.6 billion have been received so far. Nishtar was also the former Special Assistant of the Prime Minister on Poverty Alleviation and was given the responsibility by the former prime minister Imran Khan to oversee the collection and distribution of flood fund for victims of the devastating rains and floods in Pakistan.
Nishtar and Khan’s political party, however, has been accused of misrepresenting the situation by opposition lawmakers and social media users. Nishtar’s statement is accurate. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has managed to amass Rs4.8 billion, to date.
Late last year, federal minister Khawaja Saad Rafique tweeted that the PTI had received a Rs. 13 billion telethon guarantee.
He said, “How did the amount increase by two-thirds? Now Sania Nishtar tells us that Rs4.3 billion have been collected so far, which is present in the bank accounts. And where is the money located in the accounts?
