In a letter to the editor of the Daily Times in Pakistan, Isphanyar M. Bhandara; member of the Pakistan National Assembly writes…
I, Mr Isphanyar M. Bhandara, MNA (PML-N), was extremely dismayed on reading a news report published in your esteemed newspaper incriminating me on false grounds. I have already made my position very clear on this family dispute through a press conference, newspapers and television releases.
This is a family dispute and since I am an MNA, it is being given a political angle to malign and harm my reputation. Whereas all the cases instituted against him in various courts of Karachi and Lahore pertains to the period prior to my becoming the member of the National Assembly. I am rather happy that this family dispute, which pertains to iconic business concern of Pakistan, has come to the knowledge of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. This will at least apprise Prime Minister Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif of the actual position.
In fact Mr. Rustom Sidhva comes from a broken family who fled into Pakistan from India after abandoning his ailing and old parents. To the misfortune of the Bhandara family, my late father showed compassionate and provided him food, shelter and financial assistance. Mr Rustom Sidhva is infamous in our entire respectable Parsi community. We, the Parsis are known as a very peaceful and respectable community and it pains me to see Rustom Sidhva is tarnishing the reputation of the whole community. Whatever Mr Rustom Sidhva seems to own today is doled out by my family as he himself does not do anything for a living and relies solely on his tricks and sweet tongue. In connivance with my sister and a house- servant/Mali, Naseem Gul Khattak, Mr. Rustom Sidhva has managed to keep my mother and my disabled brother away from me by turning my parental house into a jail by hiring security guards, which prevents me from seeing my dear mother and disabled brother. He has falsely created a scenario by trying to reflect me as a danger to my old mother and sister whereas it is totally untrue. All his accomplices have managed to extort huge amounts of money in crores of rupees and now they have their eyes on company shares which they planned to sell. The honourable courts of Rawalpindi and Lahore have so far upheld my contentions and prevented my mother from selling/transferring/gifting/alienating company shares, which was the original design of Mr Rustom Sidhva. He has even managed to control the presence of my mother in the Board of Directors meeting and the respected Board of Directors are well aware and see the situation as worrisome. Even my family elders were called from the US to amicably resolve family issues but Mr Rustom Sidhva managed to spirit my mother away to Lahore, thus not giving them a chance to resolve this family issue.
