Aid may reach Swiss banks,fears Muqam
 [The News (Pak)] Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) Provincial President Amir Muqam on Monday said the government had failed to ensure timely assistance to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) and feared the aid poured into country might reach Swiss banks. Whoa! That's never happened before, has it? And what's wrong with a good Caymen bank? Addressing a ceremony held to distribute relief goods among the IDPs, Muqam, who is also deputy opposition leader in the National Assembly, reiterated his support to the people in distress. He distributed relief package among 800 families living in rented houses in various parts of the provincial metropolis. The PML-Q leader alleged the rulers were involved in loot and plunder and the Baitul Maal fund meant for the displaced persons was being distributed on 'political grounds'. That's why they call him "President Ten Percent," isn't it? Muqam said problems of the displaced families would remain unsolved until the government chalked out a comprehensive plan in this regard. He asked the government to win hearts and minds of IDPs through sincerity, instead of making them enemies of Pakistan. Posted by: Fred 2009-06-10 |
