The day after Pervez Siddiqui’s adult day care center was raided by the FBI last year, the pharmacist headed to a fundraiser for Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the home of the top adviser on Medicaid affairs in the Pakistani-American community.
Ijaz Ahmad, 50, a Pakistani-American cardiologist and healthcare entrepreneur with a sprawling home in Nassau County, advises his fellow countrymen on setting up community healthcare facilities, which rake in tens of millions in Medicaid cash.
He also introduces them to the city’s most powerful lawmakers at his 10,000 square foot residence in Old Westbury, according to a source in the community.
Ahmad’s proximity to Siddiqui — who now stands accused of playing a part in an alleged $38 million fraud, and another member of the community, Zakia Khan, who has been convicted of $68 million Medicaid fraud — and heavyweight Democratic politicians has raised some eyebrows.
Not least as Ahmad personally donated $16,000 between 2021 and 2025 to embattled New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who earlier this month had federal funding to the state’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) suspended over lax enforcement and a lack of prosecutions.
His American Pakistani Public Affairs Committee (APPAC) Political Action Committee also raised more than $306,000 in the last year for Democratic candidates, filings show, and has donated to the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. It has also been a significant donor to New York governor Kathy Hochul.
In December, after Mamdani’s historic victory, Ahmad organized a fundraiser for the new mayor’s transition team through APPAC, which he founded in 2018 to promote South Asian and Muslim political candidates and combat anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Mayor Mamdani: Tear down this sprawl!

The massive fraud, by government, in the 50 states, should be a national scandal of immense proportions.
But, Biden gave us the incredible immigrant fiasco, and we’ve had to deal with Iran, before they lobbed a nuke into the Vatican.
The criminal media prefers to talk about LGBTQRS+1 rights.
Unless white Christian Americans out breed these crooked muzzie dirtbags and turd world savages this nation is gone. Like it or not, Obama fundamentally changed America. Prepare accordingly.
ENOUGH!!!! I am so damned tired of reading these FOREIGN BORN NAMES BEING IN CHARGE OF US!
According to the biased "Asian American Institute," Ijaz Ahmad, 50, (shown) is a New York-based cardiologist, and entrepreneur, a "philanthropist" serving as the Medical Director of NYU Langone Brooklyn Cardiology Associates - Park Slope, while simultaneously running multiple "medical clinics" throughout NYC.
Dr. Ahmad was raised in Pakistan and graduated from Pakistan's Allama Iqbal Medical College, completing his residency and fellowship in cardiovascular diseases in New York. Dr. Ahmad is a ?Board-certified cardiologist? and has been named one of "New York's Top Doctors."
Unbiased observers say Pakistani cardiologist and healthcare entrepreneur Ahmad, advises his fellow Pakis wrt setting up "community healthcare facilities," which rake in tens of millions of tax dollars from scheming Medicaid frauds.
Ahmad is also a shrewd political operator. He introduces greed-filled Pakis to the city’s most powerful lawmakers (who facilitate the govt frauds?) at his $$$sprawling 10,000 square foot residence in Old Westbury, according to another source.
Indian-Americans are the wealthiest subgroup.
I wonder how many are just thieving pricks?
From my personal experience, I would say 80%+
every Doc/Dentist/Health Provider office has grifting staff and seem to be packed with leeches.
As bad as the “Learing Center’s
