towards Imran Khan’s projects. The other businessman who has contributed heavily is British national Aneel Musarrat from Manchester.
A credible source within PTI told this correspondent that Zulfi Bukhari sent a lot of money to Imran Khan during the dharna protest and was once seen at the container with Imran Khan. He has been pictured at various London locations with Imran khan and his sons Qasim and Suleiman. He once arranged a fundraiser for Imran Khan where top Indian businessmen were also present and donated.
An investigation by The News has established that Zulfi Bukhari hails from an influential political family who is now linked closely with Imran Khan’s PTI. He owns HPM developments, one of the biggest property companies in London. He is the son of former federal environment minister and PTI’s core committee member Syed Wajid Bukhari. His uncle Ijaz Bukhari is PTI’s MPA in the Punjab Assembly. Zulfi Bukhari’s company is estimated at millions of pounds and he is known for enjoying a luxurious lifestyle, flying in private jets and hiring yachts for holidays.
A PTI source said that Zulfi Bukhari’s role in the upcoming negotiations between Reham and Imran could be highly critical and important.
“There is going to be a financial settlement and everyone knows that. It will be a big settlement and Zulfi Bukhari has the money and contacts and he’s loyal to Imran Khan. He will arrange the payment in London or for that matter anywhere else. That’s why he has been given a mission to ensure that Reham Khan doesn’t say or do anything which could cause immediate or long term damage to Imran Khan.”
But Zulfi Bukhari is known for another reason also. It can be revealed that he was part of the infamous London Plan which was aimed at de-seating the PML-N government through a series of sit-in protests which were initiated last year and ended after the APS attacks and then Imran Khan and Reham got married 10 months ago.
‘The News’ has confirmation that Imran Khan and Dr Tahirul Qadri had met secretly at the palatial office of Zulfi Bukhari to enter into an alliance to deseat Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government.
At least three other meetings were also held at the same place where several key characters of the dharna were present and they were facilitated by Zulfi Bukhari. The News understands that Zulfikar Bukhari paid for all the expenditure of these meetings.
When initially his role in the dharna plan came into public light and he was filmed outside his office, he issued a legal notice but didn’t take any further action.
When The News contacted him to ask what his role was in the divorce settlement matter between Imran Khan and Reham Khan, he said: “I will speak to you through my lawyers soon.”
