ISLAMABAD – Malik Riaz, the founder of Bahria Town, remained in the headlines as Pakistani government is set to start an extradition treaty with United Arab Emirates to bring back the property tycoon.
Despite immense pressure, Malik Riaz made it clear that he will not testify against anyone, despite mounting pressures. In a bold statement, the owner of Pakistna’s largest private real estate company said that no amount of oppression or blackmail would force him to become a political pawn.
