Ahmad Jawad, a businessman hailing from Mandi Bahauddin in Gujrat, purportedly finances Adil Farooq Raja, a fugitive YouTuber, through his law firm, Central Chambers Law Solicitors, established with Indian business partner Mannu Vaish.
Evidence suggests that Ahmad Jawad, also known as Ahmad Jawad Gondal, is allegedly supporting Adil Raja through Central Chambers Law, alongside his intermediary and PTI UK leader Mahtab Anwar Aziz. Mannu Vaish, Ahmad Jawad, and Mahtab Aziz reportedly collaborate closely with Adil Raja in activities deemed anti-Pakistan.
Interestingly, Ahmad Jawad co-founded the law firm with Indian national Vaish, known for his ties with the Indian High Commission in London. Jawad and Vaish allegedly extend support to PTI activist Shayan Ali and Haider Mehdi, as per sources familiar with the network involved in detrimental campaigns against Pakistani institutions.
Jawad and Vaish serve as managing directors and owners of Central Chambers Law, allegedly providing financial aid to Adil Raja, Shayan Ali, and Haider Mehdi.
Ahmad Jawad’s brother, Moazzam Sheeraz, confirmed their family’s affiliation with PTI, hailing from Chhimmon village in Mandi Bahauddin district, belonging to the Jutt/Gondal clan.
Despite not actively practicing law, Ahmad Jawad established Central Chambers Law with Indian partner Mannu Vaish around seven years ago, as per UK Company House records.
Ahmad Jawad’s father, Muhammad Abbas Gondal, is a retired nurse from the Punjab health department.
Employee Mahtab Anwar Aziz, a lawyer for both Shayan Ali and Adil Raja, reportedly organises press conferences at Ahmad Jawad’s London office to launch attacks on Pakistani institutions.
Central Chambers Law supports protests against Pakistani institutions in London, funded by Ahmad Jawad and his Indian partner, while their resources are purportedly utilized to level false accusations against Pakistani institutions, the Pakistan Army, and judiciary.
Last month, Mahtab Anwar Aziz testified in a UK court during Adil Raja’s trial, alleging PTI UK activist Shayan Ali’s mental health issues. However, the court dismissed Aziz’s claims against Pakistani institutions due to a lack of evidence.
On Ahmad Jawad’s instructions, Mahtab Anwar Aziz submitted a supporting statement to Adil Raja for the court, which was rejected for lack of evidence.
Adil Raja, fined £10,000 for defamation by the court, allegedly claimed financial difficulties, prompting his attorney to negotiate a reduced payment plan.
A source from Central Chambers Law claimed that Ahmad Jawad facilitated Adil Raja’s fundraising page, managed by two staff members but later taken down by Raja.
Ahmad Jawad’s firm misled the court about Adil Raja’s finances, attributing financial hardship to Adil Raja’s halted social media income due to alleged interference by Pakistani intelligence.
PTA urged to close Adil Raja’s social media accounts
Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Society (PESS) lodged a complaint with Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to close Adil Raja’s social media accounts, disassociating themselves from his propaganda. Adil Raja allegedly misused PESS platforms post his 2022 departure, defaming the country internationally.
PESS demanded immediate closure of Adil Raja’s social media accounts, asserting his anti-national agenda and dissemination of false information among Pakistanis must cease promptly.
