Zardari accused in ‘theft’ of paintings

    *Artist’s daughter says Prez colluded with her brother to ship paintings out of Pakistan *

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has been accused of helping to steal paintings of an internationally acclaimed artist, Laila Shahzada.

Laila Shahzada’s daughter wants the Metropolitan Police to question Zardari during his visit to UK for stealing 93 paintings from her flat in Karachi. Shaheen has lodged court papers in Pakistan claiming Zardari colluded with her brother to steal the works of her mother, most of which were shipped to London, The Telegraph reports.

Internationally acclaimed artist Laila Shahzada. Right: Zardari has been accused of helping the painter’s brother steal 93 of her works, collectively worth £300,000

Shaheen has already asked Scotland Yard to help recover the paintings, worth up to £300,000 in total, and now hopes officers will contact Zardari after he flew to London for a meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron.

Shaheen’s brother, however, has insisted the paintings were left to him in their mother’s will, and that they are rightfully his. Zardari has denied any wrongdoing.

“The police must question Zardari while he’s in London. My brother took the paintings from Karachi with help from Zardari in 1994. No one could touch him at the time because they were in power,” Shaheen said.

According to a petition lodged by Shaheen at Pakistan’s Supreme Court, Zardari and her brother Sohail took the paintings to London and Florida, where the president has a home. Zardari has claimed in the past that he was simply looking after the paintings for Sohail Shahzada, but Shaheen is adamant they should have been shared equally between the artist’s three children.

Zardari is not a local thief but an International thief :smiley:

First the title says - accused then the verdict fron pre-supposed hate guppies that he is a thief :D how quick to believe everything .. what we call the persons who forward things without full proof...

!!!! IF anyone read the above its a rivalry between brother and sister of paintings custody - even if the story is taken as per as stated...

Re: Zardari accused in ‘theft’ of paintings

ROFLOOOL :D without proof?

Would you believe in the story if you got the proof? No you will just run away..

Its same like a killer saying that I didnt shot the bullet.. it was the gun :D LOL A thief be nothing without its partners (team) If there is an accusation then it means something is wrong.

√√:omg::omg::omg:√√

on a serious note

Dictator kay baghair apna country nahe chal sakta

I agree 100%

the dispute is between the siblings and if it is proven that indeed the brother did not have rights to all pictures and that Zardari knew that, only if both these conditions are met then you can say he is wrong but right now its just an accusation...and he is innocent until/unless proven guilty.

I have hundred time told here about my poor English, I am not ashamed of that but I am sorry if some one has problem with that. I knew many Pakistanis grown up abroad can not read Urdu or having problem by reading it. So I try in English.
Loving Pakistan is first and other every thing is secondary.
Finding 'Laila' at Google is not my need but that was not reply of my question.
I feel that it is my duty to show the other view.
As example there were very important election in central Punjab but here is no thread about that because PML N lost and PPP won.
I tell you more. Altaf is in serious trouble about his health but Pakistani media never talk about them. They killed more than fifty laborers of one ethnic group in three days but Media never tell about them. PML N did nothing for Punjab flood effected area and actually responsible for disaster because flood reached Punjab many days later than KP but there is no one to point out.
You only like that some one call your president thief. I my self don't like the President and Rahman Malik but I knew that PPP is only chain to unite Pakistan and hope still that some thing better will come out soon.

Bhai sahib, agar aap yaha tawajoh hasil karney aatey hain to beshaq shouq se hasil karen. Aap ko agar apni urdu pe fakhar hai to mujhe bhi urdu bolni aur likhni aati hai. Aur agar aap ko itna masla hota hai English likhney main to Kawwa kabhi hans ki chaal nahi chal sakta, so behtar hai urdu hi likhen aap.

Baqi baat rahi Watan ko Mutahid karney ki to us main PPP ka agar koi karnama hai to woh Pakistan ko torney ka hai. Balkeh ab ki koi bhi Seyasi jamaat ho, sab hi parley darjey ki ehmak tareen jamaatain hain. Jo Pakistan ke ganwar aur jahilon se bhari pari hain. Mujhe ab kisi bhi jamaat ki parwah nahi keh kon jitey ghi kiun keh Pakistan aur Pakistan ki awam ke liyae siraf Fouji Raaj hi theek rehta hai. Jo qoum bataon se nahi manti woh laton se hi maaney gi.

Baqi rahi baat Zardari aur Rehman Malik ki to janab jab PPP ne hakomat sanbhali thi to tab aap hi aa ke PPP ke har ek shaks ki himayat kartey thay aur jab aap ke samney un ki kartoot khul ghae to aap un ke khilaf ho ghae?

Khair aap ne yeh bhi kaha tha Laila Shehzada kon si badi artisit hai. Es ka matlab yeh hai keh Pakistan main SIRAF aur SIRAF ek badey bandey ko hi haq hasil hai keh woh apni iltija kar sakey? Aur jo aam shehri hain woh keya paisey de kar vote dilwane ke kaam aatey hain?

Ab agar aap ko urdu parhna mushkil lag raha ho to mazarat kiun keh mujhe Potwari nahi aati.
