Al-Qadir Institute wants independence from donations."Initially, the top businessman had donated 458 kanals of land to Al-Qadir Institute which, according to the stamp paper, was valued at 244 million PKR in 2019.The land was transferred first to Zulfi Bukhari, who later transferred it to the trust after its creation in January 2021. The land is located in Mouza Bakrala, Tehsil Sohawa, district Jhelum.The acknowledgment agreement of the donated land was signed between Bushra Khan (on behalf of Al-Qadir University) and the donor, while Imran Khan (chairman of Al Qadir University) was holding the Prime Minister's Office, The News reported.From January 2021 to December 2021, the trust received donations of 180 million PKR.
