Ahsan Iqbal: Background Information
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahsan Iqbal (born September 28, 1958 in Lahore) is a Pakistani politician and the former Federal Minister for Education. He is also the information secretary of the center-right party PML-N, of which he is a senior member. He was elected as an MNA from his constituency NA-117 (Narowal-III) in the February 2008 elections.
Ahsan Iqbal studied mechanical engineering at the UET Lahore (1976-1981), where he was a leader of right-wing Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba. He was elected President of the Students Union (1980-81). He moved to the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania for an MBA degree (1984-1986).
His political career started in 1980 when he joined the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, at UET Lahore. In 1988 he joined PML (a part of IJI then) later becoming PMLN, and rose to become its information secretary during the regime of General Pervaiz Musharraf. He was elected for the first time as an MNA from his constituency NA-90 (Narowal) in the general elections of 1993, and later from the same constituency in February 1997. He won his seat again in 2008, after losing in 2002, from his native district of Narowal.
….
It has been reported that the right hand man of Ahsan Iqbal in Narowal is involved in killing two of his opponents through a fake police encounter. Afterward their dead bodies were hanged in the village square and their house was burnt. Killer has the full support of Ahsan Iqbal and no one can register even a FIR against him.
Link to the news about Ahsan Iqbal`s right hand man killed opponents and Ahsan Iqbal supporting him:
an investigation is needed, if it is true then the culprit must be made accountable for that.

This is character of all PML-N. Shahbaz Sharif killed many people in police encounters. He made Elite force for this purpose.
There were cases against him for extra judicial murder which were dropped when he became cm. Money n political pressure was behind it

Javed Hashmi + Ahsan Iqbal + Hanif Abbasi etc etc almost all senior leadership of Nawaz League are ex-jamaatis. Now what we are witnessing again is revival of IJI in the form of Nawaz League + Jamaat -e- (ghair) Islami + Imran Khan aka Taliban Khan + Jamiat Ulaema (Juhla) -e- Pakistan + ISI !!

The incident took place outside Mr. Ahsan Iqbal’s constituency and the father of the victims used Ahsan Iqbal’s name to grab attention of the PCO judges. Anyways the case was dismissed by Abdul Hameed Dogar, I would request the admin to remove this post, as there are very little politicians the nation could look up to and Ahsan Iqbal is one of them.

I think it would be better if you discuss policies instead of Personalities.
We all know the caliper of our political leaders, where they comes and what they own.
This is definitely a cheap and preposterous character assassination of a seasoned and one of the well reputed politicians of Pakistan who is respected across political and ideological lines. Just by taking into account his mentioned academic credentials and otherwise polite and erudite nature of his political appearances you should have disregarded this crap news. Don’t forget that by posting this, like your ideological adversaries, you are now also demonizing the political class. I hope this is not what your blog stands for. Remove it!
S. Ali Raza:
you better ask PML-N leadership to remove Ahsan from their party if they have the slightest of human values.
Facts of the case are quite different from reality. This incident took place out of Mr. Ahsan Iqbal’s constituency and Mr. Babu Khan tried to politicize the issue to grab the attention of then CJ Mr. Abdul Hameed Dogar. The case was disposed off by the courts too.
Another Stabbing of Christians by PML(N) – by Junaid Qaiser

@ Humza Ikran: The Christians were allotted land by the local government in lieu of the land destroyed in floods. Later, government built a girls school on that land, how does that amount to Ahsan Iqbal taking over their land? I urge Mr. Lucman and Critical PPP to check facts! These chaps have no claim over the school land.
Facts of the case are quite different*

لاہور: پاکستان مسلم لیگ کے سینئر راہنماء جو ناروال کے حلقہ این اے 117 سے تعلق رکھتے ہیں، اپنے علاقے میں ایک ” ڈان”کے طور پر ابھر کر سامنے آئے ہیں۔ ان کے اس غیرشریفانہ کردار نے ان کی اپنی پارٹی کے رہنماؤں کو پریشان کر دیا ہے جو ان کی ’غنڈہ گردی‘ اور بھائیوں کے لیے اقربا پروری سے بہت تنگ ہیں۔ احسن اقبال اور ان کے رشتہ داروں کے خلاف لاہور پریس کلب میں ہونے والے ایک مظاہرے میں ساٹھ سالہ عبدالغنی کی موت جس کا تعلق ڈھوک چک بس اڈا ناروال سے تھا، کی وجہ سے پہلے ہی عوام میں بہت غصہ پایا جاتا ہے۔ تاہم اس کے باوجود مسلم لیگ نواز پر اس کا کوئی اثر نہیں ہوا جس سے یہ تاثر ملتا ہے کہ احسن اقبال کو ان کی پنجاب میں حکومت کرنے والی پارٹی نے یہ لائسنس دیا ہوا ہے کہ وہ ان کی حمایت سے جو چاہیں کرتے رہیں۔
پارٹی کے مرکزی سیکریٹریٹ میں ذرائع نے یہ انکشاف کیا ہے کہ احسن اقبال نے ناروال میں اپنی حکومت قائم کرلی ہے جہاں سے وہ تین دفعہ الیکشن جیت کر رکن پارلیمنٹ بن چکے ہیں اور انہیں جتانے میں ان کی والدہ آپا نثار فاطمہ کے رشتہ داروں رانا رمضان اور رانا افضل نے بہت اہم کردار ادا کیا ہے۔ پاکستان مسلم لیگ نواز کو احسن اقبال اور ان کے رشتہ داروں کے بارے میں بہت ساری شکایتں موصول ہوئیں جن میں کہا گیا تھا وہ سب ڈرگز اور انسانی سمگلنگ میں ملوث ہیں اور اس کے علاوہ لوگوں سے بھتہ بھی وصول کرتے ہیں۔ ان کے بیشتر رشتہ دار اپنے آپ کو ایم این اے یا ایم پی اے سے کم نہیں سمجھتے اور جو ان کی بات نہیں مانتے، انہیں ہراساں کرنے کے علاوہ اغواء یا قتل بھی کیا جا سکتا ہے۔
ایڈوکیٹ احسن اختر، جو کہ احسن اقبال کے رشتہ داروں کے خلاف عدالت میں ایک کیس لڑ رہے ہیں نے ’پاکستان ٹوڈے‘ کو بتایا کہ احسن اقبال حکومت میں اپنا اثر و رسوخ استمعال کر کے کڑروں روپے کے کنٹریکٹ لے کر اپنے کزنز کو دیتے رہتے ہیں۔ ان کے رشتہ دار بہت مال بنا رہے ہیں اور اس کے علاوہ اپنی مرضی کے ٹرانسفر اور پوسٹنگ بھی کراتے ہیں۔
احسن اقبال اس کے علاوہ اپنی دور طالبعلمی سے ایک بدنام زمانہ مائیگریشن کیس کے حوالے سے بھی خبروں میں رہے ہیں۔ احسن اقبال نے ٹیکسلا انجیرنگ یونیورسٹی سے لاہور کی انجیرنگ یونیورسٹی میں تبدیلی کے لیے سیاسی اثرو رسوخ استمعال کیا تھا۔ گیارہ مئی 1978( جنرل ضیاء کا دور جس میں احسن اقبال کی والدہ آپا نثار فاطمہ فوجی آمر کے بہت قریب سمجھی جاتی تھیں) کے سینڈیکٹ اجلاس کے منٹس سے یہ انکشاف ہوتا ہے کہ ان دو یونیورسٹیوں کے درمیان اس طرح کے کسی طالب علم کو تبادلہ کرانے کی کوئی گنجائش نہیں تھی کیونکہ طالب علم ان دو اداروں میں میرٹ پر داخل ہوتے تھے۔ تاہم سینڈیکٹ نے احسن اقبال رجسٹریشن نمبر 76-UCET-18 کو ٹیکسلا سے لاہور یونیورسٹی تبادلے کی اجازت دے تھی۔
پاکستان مسلم لیگ نواز کے ایک سینئر لیڈر کے مطابق احسن اقبال اپنی سازشوں کی وجہ سے بھی بہت مشہور تھے۔ جب نواز شریف جلاوطنی کاٹ رہے تھے تو وہ سازش کرکے پارٹی کے مرکزی انفارمیشن سیکرٹری بن گئے۔ صدیق الفاروق کو پارٹی کا انفارمیشن سیکرٹری بنانے تک کا نوٹیفیکشن بھی جاری کر دیا گیا تھا ۔ تاہم احسن اقبال نے سابق ڈپٹی سپیکر پنجاب اسمبلی جعفر اقبال گجر کے ساتھ مل کر یہ سازش تیار کی اور نواز شریف کو ذہن بدلنے میں اہم کردار ادا کیا ۔
اپنے بدتمیزانہ اندار گفتگو کی وجہ سے ان کا اپنی پارٹی کی سینئر قیادت کے ساتھ تعلق کوئی اچھا نہیں ہے۔ وہ دوسروں کے مقابلے میں اپنے آپ کو ذہانت، پروفیشنل ازم اور تعلیم میں بہت بہتر سمجھتے ہیں، لہذا وہ کسی کو خاطر میں نہیں لاتے اور سولو فلائٹ پر یقین رکھتے ہیں۔ مسلم لیگ نواز کے ایک لیڈر نے بتایا کہ احسن اقبال نے اپنے چھوٹے بھائی مجتبی جمال کو پنجاب حکومت کے لیگل پینل پر ایڈجسٹ کرایا۔ مجتبی احسن جیل کمیٹی کے رکن ہیں۔ جیل سے متلعقہ تمام تر قانونی کارروائیاں، کیسز جو ہوتے ہیں، وہ ان کے ہاتھوں سے ہو کر عدالتوں میں جاتے ہیں اور موصوف دونوں ہاتھوں سے مال کما رہے ہیں۔
احسن اقبال نے اپنے ایک اور بھائی مصطفی کمال کو وزیراعلی کی ٹاسک فورس برائے پارکس اور ہارٹیکلچرل کا چیئرمین بنوا رکھا ہے۔ مصطفے کے خلاف اس وقت ایک انکوائری بھی ہو چکی ہے کہ وہ اپنے اس عہدے کو اپنے کاروبار کے لیے استمعال کر رہے ہیں۔ (موصوف کسی دور میں اس ادارے کو پھول فراہم کرتے تھے اور اب اس کے باس بن بییٹھے تھے)۔ پتہ یہ چلا کہ مصطفے کو ہرگز ہارٹی کلچر کا کوئی علم نہیں کہ اسے اس عہدے پر فائز کیا جاتا جو ویسے ایک ٹیکنوکریٹ کے لیے مختص ہے۔ یہ بھی انکشاف ہوا ہے کہ مصطفے پچھلے دور حکومت میں پنجاب ہارٹی کلچرل اتھارٹی کے ساتھ بہت ساری بزنس ٹرانزنکشن میں ملوث پائے گئے تھے۔ وہ ہارٹری گروپ، پلانٹ سپیس اور پلانٹ کیئر جیسی فرمز بھی چلاتے رہے جو پی ایچ اے کو پھول پودے فراہم کیا کرتی تھیں۔ ذرائع کے مطابق احسن اقبال کو خوش کرنے کے لیے پنجاب ہارٹی کلچر اتھارٹی نے یہ لازمی قرار دے دیا تھا کہ ان کی فرم سے پھول پودے ضرور حاصل کیے جائیں۔

I know a hidden scandal of Mr. Najaf Iqbal Syed (presently DCO Norowal) who is the right hand and frontman of Mr. Ahsan Iqbal .
Mr. Najaf Iqbal Syed who allegedly introduced himself as M.D. PPRA to potential metro contractors to collaborate with them in pre-qualifying and winning the project through his influence in TEPA-LDA Lahore, Mr. Najaf Iqbal who was working as front man of Ahsan Iqbal to deal with contractors at the time of tendering process of various Metro Bus Projects in Lahore. Mr. Najaf Iqbal Syed was handling various Metro Bus Project Contractors by manipulating in tenders from LDA TEPA with the backing of Ahsan Iqbal.
Mr. Najaf Iqbal Syed assisted his allied contractors to get pre-qualified and manipulated to get tenders at very high rates by pooling the tender with the help of LDA Authorities.
It is to mention that DG LDA Mr. Ahad Chema is the right hand of Shahbaz Sharif and Hamza Shahbaz to manage the various contractors and project where Mr. Najaf Iqbal Syed shows himself as the middleman between contractors and high ups to receive the kickbacks and business share on their behalf.
Working style of Najaf Iqbal was to get the tenders of different projects at high rates through their blue eyed contractors and after winning the tender he make a fake partnership deeds with those contractors who win the tender with their collaboration through a hidden Lady, Afterwards Najaf Iqbal Syed opens a partnership Bank Account through that hidden lady who becomes signatory with the original contractor as partner, during the project Mr. Najaf Iqbal Syed manage investments and collect cheques from department directly against contractor work and deposit the same cheques in partnership account to takeover the control on contractor payments and get kickbacks through that lady and contractor and made millions from Lahore metro project.
Mr. Syed Najaf Iqbal Made various deals with various Metro Bus Contractors on with the backing of Mr. Ahsan Iqbal who often visited the contractors and Departments to manage the kickbacks.
After the successful dealings by Najaf Iqbal Syed on behalf of Mr. Ahsan Iqbal who got millions and utilized the same money for the rigging the election in his constituency of Norowal and won the election and became the minister and as reward he appointed Mr. Najaf Iqbal Syed as DCO in Narowal who is again working for the Mr. Ahsan Iqbal to make more money from the development budget of norowal.
This is fake scandal and please stop misleading awam with such stories. If you have any proofs them bring them up and the metro contract project you r talking about was won but Pak-German contractors but due to their corruption and malpractice, one of the owners, Mr. Zafar was arrested by police and kept in custody at unknown place for two days. This Najaf Iqbal you are talking about helped in relase of one of these PG brothers because of his friend who was Zafar’s relative.
Seems that Armaan knows many things, There might be some thing in this Scandal of DCO … these few questions can be helpful to find true picture.
How Armaan knows the contractors PG.. is Armaan knows too much inside ?
Is Pak German contractor one of those contractors where the said DCO is front-man of Ahsan Iqbal and others as mentioned..?
Who is dat hidden lady.. ?
Why the same person promoted and appointed as DCO in Narrowal immediately after elections ?
why PG brother released if involved in corruption ?
Is there any kickbacks issue behind their arrest. .? or he might be arrested for not giving kickbacks ?
Is their arrest was official or unofficial ..?
Is there any record of arrest and corruption..?
Who is dat relative which called the DCO to help those people and what is their interest ..?
If someone like PG, Armaan or DCO answer the above questions, that can be helpful to understand the facts.
Alleged corruption in MBS project : Court gives NAB two weeks’ time to file reply to plea
LAHORE: A division bench of the Lahore High Court on Thursday sought a report from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on a petition seeking inquiry into alleged corruption of Rs 72 million in Lahore metro bus service project (MBS). The court directed the NAB Punjab to submit its report on the matter within two weeks. The petition was moved on behalf of a private company that deals in electrical parts. The petitioner counsel alleged that former Punjab Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) deputy director Najaf Iqbal, an officer of Lahore Development Authority Shabana Najaf and Faisal Farid committed corruption of Rs 72 million during the construction of the MBS project. He alleged that these officers misused their powers and received millions of rupees from the petitioner-company as illegal gratification, as the company had supplied different electrical equipments for the project. He said that an application was submitted to the NAB with all evidences of the alleged corruption in the MBS project, but no action was taken so far. He requested the court that the NAB should be ordered to initiate an inquiry into the corruption.

This is not the only issue exposed where these people involved in alleged corruption, there were several MBS Contracts awarded with this technique to secure the corruption money in an official manner. Behind most contracts there might be the same story. This group is actually very powerful having full support from high ups and specially promoted and posted at very key positions to manage financial matters, these people are also involved to negotiate contract deals with foreign companies working in Punjab from China and Turkey. These are visiting Turkey and China frequently for the settlement of various financial deals on behalf of some key politicians.
After all it’s Pakistan,
We got clean Chit from NAB and anti corruption …. Hahahahahahaha
