List of 8041 NRO beneficiaries issues
Government of Pakistan Saturday released the list of the beneficiaries of the National Reconciliation Ordinance on the directives of Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani.
State Minister for Law Afzal Sindhu in a news conference here said that a total of 8041 people including 34 politicians, bureaucrats and three ambassadors took benefit from the ordinance.
On top of the list is the name of President Asif Ali Zardari while his several close associates, both political and bureaucratic, including Rehman Malik, Salman Farooqi and his brother Usman Farooqi and Hussain Haqqani are also included, he said.
The list, which also reflects a brief introduction of the cases dropped against each name under the NRO, also includes the name of serving and former ministers, federal and provincial secretaries, ex-chief secretaries, existing or former members of the national and provincial assemblies and others, he added.
The politicians that benefited from the ordinance include Nawaz Yousaf Talpur, Ex-MNA and former minister, Nusrat Bhutto, Ex-MNA and the PPP Secretary General Jehangir Badar, Ex-minister for commerce and Presently Defense Minister Ahmad Mukhtar, Ex-MNA Malik Mushtaq Ahmed Awan, Ex-MNA Rana Nazir Ahmed, Ex-MPA Mian M Rashid, Ex-MPA Tariq Anees, Ex-MPA Mian Tariq Mehmood Dina, Ex-Minister of education Sindh Agha Sirajuddin, Former Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Sherpao and Ex-Provincial minister Ghani-ur-Rehman, he said.
Ex-senator Haji Gulsher, Ex-Provincial Minister Habibullah Khan Kundi, Ex-MNA Mir Baz Muhammad Khan Khethran, Ex-Federal Minister Anwar Saifullah Khan, Ex-Provincial Minister Sardar Mansoor Laghari, Ex-Mayor Sargodha Ch Abdul Hameed, Ex-chairman Zila Council Lahore Ch Shaukat Ali, Ex-MNA Haji Kabir are also included in the list.
Haji Nawaz Khokhar late, Altaf Hussain, Babar Ghouri, Farooq Sattar, Saleem Shahzad, Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ebad, Ch, Haji Qadeer, Malik Mushtaq Awan, Mian Muhammad Rasheed, Mian Tariq Mehmood, Shoaib Bukhari are also included in the list of Politicians who took benefit from NRO.
Amongst Government servants and others, who had benefited from NRO and got themselves cleared from NAB cases include Ex-Additional Director General FIA and Presently Interior Minister Rehman Malik, Pakistan’s Ambassador in the US Husain Haqqani, Principal Secretary to the President Suleman Farooqi, Ex-Advisor to Prime Minister A R Siddiqi, Pakistan’s High Commissioner to UK Wajid Shams-ul-Hassan, Ex DG Intelligence Bureau Brig Imtiaz, Ex-MD Printing Corporation of Pakistan Pir Mukarram.
The minister said that the number of politicians who benefited from the NRO is very few. Out of total 8041 persons who benefited from the law 7793 belong to Sindh province, he said.
“The spouse of the prime minister was not among the beneficiaries of NRO,” the state minister said. The minister said that three diplomats, including Hussain Haqqani, Wajid Shams-ul-Hasan and AR Siddiqui also benefited from the law.
Sindhu said that total 71 cases including 31 murders and 11 attempts to murder against MQM chief Altaf Hussain were withdrawn under the Ordinance. Among other MQM members, one case of Dr Ishratul Ibad was withdrawn, 23 of Farooq Sattar, 5 of Babar Ghauri, one of MNA Noman Sehgal, 18 of Dr Imran Farooq, 21 of Shoaib Bukhari, 7 of Wasim Akhtar, 6 of Salim Shehzad, 12 of Kanwar Khalid Younis and 16 cases of Safdar Baqiri were taken back.
Answering to a question, he said, Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani was honorably acquitted by the court.
The cases against politicians were constructed for political victimization, he said, adding that, Cases against PPP leadership were made during the period of Chief Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) Nawaz Sharif for that he has regretted the act.
It was also mentioned in the charter of democracy that most of the cases were constructed to victimize political opponents, he said. Cases made during the period of former President Farooq Leghari were also based on malafide intentions, he said.
Till 28 November, 2009, NRO is protected under constitution and it will lapse after 28 November, he said. Situation will get cleared after November 28. We will accept the verdict of Supreme Court on the issue, he said.
If any beneficiary of NRO found guilty will be dealt in accordance with the law, State Minister for Sindh said this while answering to a question. “We will accept the verdict of Supreme Court with open heart. We will accept the court decision even against President. We must live in the Present,” Sindhu added.
“The article 48 of the Constitution provides amenity to the President. President is symbol of federation. We must honor the office of President,” he said.
Beneficiaries of NRO may be politicians, may be bureaucrats will be dealt according to law, he said.
“We had pressure of NRO even before elections. It was misinterpreted and people were misguided on the subject during election campaign. We contested election under NRO. I do not have any moral pressure. Pressure should be on those who constructed baseless cases,” he said.

HOW ABOUT MUSHARAF (CRIMINAL NUMBER 1) BEING TAKEN TO COURT FOR ISSUING AN “ORDINANCE” WITH A MALAFIDE INTENT.
This list gonna creat more confusion. I wish they should have 2 seperate list. One criminal cases and one corruption cases.
Noo soo chohey kha ke billi chali hujj ko – voh dekho bandar bola.
R U shitrting me?
I mean seriously does he mean that zardari and every NRO PPP yafta is mushy banda? or are the ppp nro yafta criminal. WTF bandar has no brain bawaseer munh ki lol
Ary: PPP leaders ready to face cases: Badar
What do you expect Gobar Hewan or for that matter any of ZPP members to say?
I think NRO infection is symbolic…Theres lot more loot by individuals other than NRO.
The worst part of NRO is not the corruption or amount of individual corruption…The worst part is treacherous collaboration of our politicians with enemy of Pakistan sponsors of NRO…the heinous intent was nothing but to destabilize Pakistan through this law of corruption…and result is evident…at this moment we are almost banana republic…people in power can buy a land worth billions in pennies.
The other integral part of NRO besides Musharaf was BB and our hypocrite media and politicians never get tired to call her BB Shaheed.
Heres single shot of 38 billion corruption by Musharaf and Shaukat Aziz reported by Rauf Klasra.

@Jazoo agree with the points you make. NRO was designed to serve as a neo-colonial model to be implemented world over in “The New American Century”. Personally I go easy on BB because she is not in this world and I think that is the position adopted by most analysts and commentators. I however agree with you that her role in the whole NRO issue is / was at least condemnable and I believe history will judge her very harshly.
@taukeer
carry on mayoos-paki has left cuz of blasting BB lolz U gonna loose more ppp lolz
@Afzal I make the comments I make because I care about the future of Pakistan which I am completely and absolutely committed to. I don’t intend to cause offense but if I did then my unreserved apologies.
To my knowledge I have been truthful in my analysis and have said harsher words about other politicians including Nawaz Sharif whom I was once accused of being a spokesman of at this forum. My recent comments probably lay that to rest.
The bottom line for me is the country, if in my judgement you have caused harm to the country then the least I could do is have the moral courage to express my opinion. Otherwise we might as well setup a tea club!
I am totally against Mid-term election or any other means to remove zardari specially through the SC. Ppl have short memories and PPP & co. will be crying 3 – 5 yrs down the road how everyone conspire against them. This govt need atleast 3 yrs in powers to get rid of all the “mazloomiyat” crap. Meanwhile the pressure by media and exposure of thier incompetence is doing the job nicely. Meanwhile a mid-term election wil only result what nota has correctly said another witch brew aka bhanmati ka kunba yani salees urdu main ek aur coalition givt. With MQM sitting pretty with PML – , backed by ANP or JUI. JI and PTI might make modest gains but nowhere to be of any influence. Sindh will entrench itself with PPPP. that will mean MQM – PPP led govt in sindh and NS led coalition will then be hosstage to MQM.
So better to bid time, clip zardari powers, which kaira has already hinted at and am sure thsi time PPP sane political heads have explained to retard zardari to let 17th amend goes, dun help ppp it only hurts them.

Sindhi nationalist cant do jack shit. Thanks to zia they were taken out of equation long time ago. Dun go wat sehbai says, read sindhi newspapers, PPP is a political reality and will always have sindh card. The sindhi nationalist (aka racists) realized that long ago, they just switched the skin and become ppp members and now are sitting in parliment and control PPP sindh. PPP sindh was hijacked by them, the ideologically pures remain behind like rasool bakhsh paleejo etc. Magsi the head of JSQM is a mass murdere yet this asshole is allowed to roam free in pakistan courtesy Late BB. So trust me on this, PPP has a vote bank in sindh which will remain firm as it stands now, how u can change it, can only be done like NS did when he came in power with 2/3 but he not going in sindh and his party is in disarray. PPP also has the abcking of nationalists and all so called liberal groups, if they see NS leaning toward right of centre they will flock to ppp.
next stop in NRO, is the mantra of SC stay out of it adn COD to take over. LOL i see PPP already talking abt COD. Under the guise of COD, SC will be asked to delay hearings on NRO soo that a deal can be reached on COD and “mafahamati comisssion”.
I agree with Afzal’s analysis on “Sindhi” vote bank. I have several Sindhi friends and am amazed at their Xenophobic thinking. I am also surprised with the disconnect they have with the mainstream Pakistani populace. I am surprised at MQM’s turn around though, I think they learnt alot from 12th May 2007 incidence and that accounts for their new found clamor for moral high ground. But I welcome it with an open heart and with a fistful of salt!
I dun think of it as xenophobia, more like victim mentality. Horrible thing done to us, the culprits ofcoz are not the one who are actually doing this to us but are whom we are told. Its victim hood that causing all the problems.
