And there’s an American Pakistani Public Affairs Committee (APPAC) connection.
Earlier this year, I wrote about a $68 million Pakistani Muslim adult day care fraud being busted in New York City and its connections to the Democrat Party and the local political establishment.
Two years ago, Zakia Khan and her son Ahsan Ijaz hosted an NYPD promotion ceremony for the first Pakistani inspector in the New York City police department. After an Imam recited a prayer and everyone, including NYPD personnel, rose and put their hands on their hearts for the Pakistani national anthem, hailing Pakistan as the ‘citadel of Islam’ in the “shadow of Allah.”
Last year, Khan pleaded guilty to a $68 million Medicaid fraud scheme involving her adult day care centers, which had been the sponsors of the NYPD event, and earlier this year more members of the Muslim fraud ring pleaded guilty as well. Others are still awaiting trial.
The day care fraud not only dragged in Khan and her son, but also Malik Nadeem Abid, a prominent Democrat who had served as the vice chair of the Nassau County Democratic Party, had chaired a DNC committee, had been honored by both branches of New York’s legislature, and had been closely associated with a number of Democratic members of Congress.
Abid (pictured above) was also a former board member of CAIR: a politically influential Muslim Brotherhood group that supports Hamas that was named as an ‘unindicted coconspirator’ in terror funding. But like Khan, Abid had developed ties to the police, and was a member of an advisory council to the New York Nassau County DA’s office and the Nassau County Police Department.
Now more of the same is emerging.
A prominent Pakistani-American businessman who spent years cozying up to powerful Democrats stands accused of being part of a $38 million Medicaid scam.
Civic leader and well-known Brooklyn Community Board 13 member Pervez Siddiqui, 78, was arrested Monday along with seven co-conspirators.
Shazia Bibi (a.k.a. Shazia Wattoo), Abdul Aziz, Shair Ali, and their recruiter co-defendants Zebun Ahmed, Josna Begum, Saira Khatoon, and Atia Shahnaz were also involved, according to the unsealed indictment against them.
The gang paid cash bribes directly to New York Medicaid recipients to enroll at APNA or Ashiana — even though most never attended their facilities — and paid the recruiters kickbacks to refer patients, while submitting $38 million in fraudulent claims to New York Medicaid for services that were never provided, according to the indictment.
Siddiqui, who owns around 15 pharmacies in New Jersey, is prolific in local political circles and a regular donor to Democratic campaigns, sometimes shelling out over $10,000 a pop to local candidates, records show. And through his ties to another group, he scored an intimate sit-down with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in December 2025, pictures obtained by The Post show.
Through his affiliation with a different group called the American Pakistani Public Affairs Committee (APPAC), Siddiqui got unprecedented access to some of the state’s top Democrats, including hosting a fundraiser for New York Attorney General Letitia James in June 2022 at a restaurant in Coney Island.
I’ve written about APPAC’s role before.
Ijaz Ahmad is the head of the American-Pakistani Political Action Committee (APPAC) who had boasted of being recognized by Pakistan’s foreign ministry as the “true face of Pakistan”.
APPAC is militantly opposed to India’s attempts to stop Pakistani terrorism and Biden has been happy to pander to it, attacking India and expressing support for Islamic claims to Kashmir.
APPAC noted that it had raised $320,000 for Biden, including $120,000 from Ahmad.
Tahir Javed, a candidate endorsed by APPAC, is also listed as a Biden bundler.
The American Pakistani Public Affairs Committee of course backed Mamdani who is a fellow Muslim settler of Indian origin.
A good deal of the money for the Islamic machine comes from prominent Muslim ‘doctors’ who run various health care facilities and figure out how to monetize them to the max. It’s an area that the government would find well worth looking at.

So many muzzlim snakes in the den….”stealing, killing and destroying”….one cannot keep up.
I believe there are way more criminal muzllims than there are *innocent* ones who have no clue about the evil they carry.

It is in their religion Islam tells them that non-islamic followers owe them and are sub humans. Islam allows for Rape, theft, violence and murder of non-islamic followers. So what a surprise they would steel from the public. These millions of muslim/islamic migrants are not going to assimilate just because they crossed a border line.
Jerry says
I’m not a prophet, but I think Mayor Mandonky in NYC will cause so much headache and turmoil in the NYCPD that the majority of the good and decent NYC police will retire or resign and move on to other pastures. Then the Mandonke will fill the ranks with Muslim officers that are loyal to the Quarn and Mohammhead and not NY and the USA. Then quietly enforcing Islamic Sharia Law inside NYC. And establishing an alternat system of law not cohesive to our Federal and State Constitutions. Creating more turmoil with our borders. Requiring more resources from the U.S. Taxpayer to bring that City back to within the established Constitutional control
John Hawkins says
Years ago there was a movie called Escape from New York. There as a fence around the city so no one could escape. I think we are well on our way there.

Fraud is good for the democrats. The more fraud the more power and money gets funneled back to them. And Muslims are the cream of the crop of fraud, now do you see why Muslims are so loved in the west?
Because Muslims are expert thief’s. Their religion is basically theft if you study their history carefully.
And once Muslims and democrats take over a state, take the senate seats house and governor, you set up total fraud voting and redistribute redistrict forever to end republicans . Diabolical but effective.
This is the future of more states as demon rats move in with Sharia dogs. Mark my words kiss Texas good bye. TALERICO is up 7 points over Ken Paxton, a great great candidate. You can’t win these Muslims over or these new comer white democrat crackers .

How did NY get so many Pakis? I can understand w/ Indians, courtesy the H1B visas (which I do support rolling back), but Pakistan is nothing like India when it comes to these things. Nor are they exactly in a war zone, except the war they have been waging on their non-Panjabi provinces like Sind and Baluchistan
I can understand how most of them made it into Europe, thanks to Merkel and the EU. I don’t understand how so many of them made it to the US, when Pakistan, unlike Gaza or Lebanon, is not a war zone
Robert says
Listen you. That mandami is a Pakistan Islamist isn’t he? I think this Muslim and his ISLAMIC HORDE work all totally together and they don’t care about their old country only ISLAM.
Mandami is putting the first brick in his HOUTHI CALIPHATE OF NEW YORK.

Depends on your definition of Pakistani. His parents are both Indian, and his father is Twelver shi’a muslim, and so is he. His mom is a leftist movie maker making movies about the victimization of “minorities” – what the Jews would call “self-hating”
Robert says
I could have sworn he was a Pakistani. These New York Muslims have unified and forgot all their differences to take over and pillage the government money.
I heard right now a flood of them is going to Tennessee . These Texas and Tennessee are gold mines because of no debt. Muslims have a lot to take

Don’t beat yourself up over that. The difference b/w Pakistani & Indian muslims is a distinction w/o a difference. Just that India is stuck w/ them thanks to that naked fakir Mohandas Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru
I’m horrified to hear that they’re targeting Red states. People of those states should do everything to make them feel unwelcome, so that they leave on their own

All Muslims are soldiers of Islam. That is the self-declared heart of Islam. As written in their Quran,
Jihad is the Tactic and Jihad has infinite forms.
Some contribute by the sword, some by birthrate, others by fraud, all seek to contribute by any means
they are suited for.
Muslims love Islam, they live and breathe Islam. They will take action to promote Islam. They believe
Islam is the best way for everyone to live. They think and believe that Islam should Rule. Allahs laws are superior to the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Jihad is the Tactic, to Rule is the Strategy.
The question is: Why do so few in our Federal and State government officials not recognize what is written in Islam for anyone to read?
Why import soldiers of the Army of Islam after Sept. 11, and all the other Islamic attacks on U.S. soil since? After all the unending thwarted plots by Islam?
Defeating Islam in Iran is important, but to then import Muslim soldiers for Islam into our country makes no sense. Iranian mullahs and Muslims allowed into our country all read the same “holy” books. They all have the same beliefs and thinking.
How, pray tell, does the source books of the theology of an “American” Muslim differ from a Muslim terrorist anywhere in the world?
How do the theology source books of ISIS differ from the theology source books of CAIR?
Give me a side-by-side chart illustrating the difference.
A government’s first duty is to protect its Citizens. Bar Islam at our Borders as the totalitarian government that it says it is.
