Founder and General Secretary of Dr. AQ Khan Hospital Trust Dr. Shaukat Babar Virkhas said that I am the author and founder of Dr. AQ Khan Hospital Trust. Strict legal action has been initiated against the miscreants who are making negative propaganda against our trust and trustees. No one can deny the irrefutable official documents, resolutions and authentic testimony of thousands of citizens in this regard. I categorically deny the rumors about my trust.
The false FIR registered in Naseerabad police station Lahore will be discharged soon after the investigation process. Dr. AQ Khan Hospital was constructed on abandoned Waqf Estate Board land and its lease agreement is also in the name of my registered trust.
The first deed of our trust was registered in Gulberg Town Lahore in 2013, while the second Marmaa deed was registered in 2016, the third Marmaa deed was registered in 2019, and after the death of Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, and the fourth Marmaa deed was registered in 2021, which is still valid today. In one of his statements, Dr. Shaukat Babar Virk further said that the local people of Ravi Park Lahore in the auspices of Minar Pakistan still call Dr. AQ Khan Hospital by its old name “Bazm-e-Ahbab Hospital”. It came into existence in 1987 through the collective efforts and sacrifices of the late former Deputy Mayor of Lahore and Khadim-e-Insaniyat Haji MUHAMMAD Amin Butt and his friends.
Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan late in 2012 was associated with Bazm-e-Ahbab Hospital on my invitation, which later our current chairman Haji Qaiser Amin Butt and I, with mutual consultation, named this hospital after seeing the national services of Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan. He was elected chairman. He said that we made ourselves trust uniform with our tireless work and our work. The modern building of Dr. AQ Khan Hospital is a reflection of our character and work. So far two million indigent and deserving patients have benefited from our charity hospital.
