HYDERABAD:
The brother of Pakistan People’s Party MP Shahid Abdul Salaam Thahim has accused the MPA and his paternal uncle of corruption, alleging that their actions tarnished the reputation of their late father, former provincial minister Abdul Salaam Thahim. In a video message broadcast from the United States, Fahad Salaam Thahim announced his intention to return to Pakistan to restore the honor of his father and his community.
He pointed out that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is investigating a Rs 5.5 billion case against his brother, an elected official from Sanghar district, and others. “These funds were intended to build houses for the homeless and schools for children,” he lamented.
Thahim said the constituency elected his brother based on the legacy of their father, who served the people of Sanghar for three to four decades without facing a single corruption allegation. In the same seat, his uncle Abdul Rehman Thahim is also said to have tarnished his father’s name.
He clarified that his return to Pakistan was not motivated by personal gain, saying he already owned significant properties in the United States.
