While the poor and needy are dying for basic necessities like flour, the government is lavishly spending billions of rupees of the taxpayers’ money on bringing prohibitively-expensive travel comforts to VIPs, writes Ansar Abbasi.
Documentary evidence reveals the Frontier government has purchased a Rs 500 million VIP chopper for the NWFP governor while the federal government is in the process of buying five helicopters.
The copters the federal government is purchasing include two for VIPs, costing the public exchequer at least Rs 5.3 billion. Three of the five helicopters will be used for emergency services, including relief and rescue work.
But former secretary Cabinet Division Ghiasuddin, when contacted by The News, explained the order for the five helicopters had been placed prior to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s takeover.
Only in recent years, in addition to two VIP business jets costing billions, a fleet of more than 40 bullet-proof limousines was bought for over Rs 3 billion for bigwigs. Key government functionaries, including top defence officials and spymasters, followed suit and secured highly-expensive bullet-proof limousines. According to a document of the NWFP Administration Department, a helicopter for Governor Owais Ahmad Ghani has been purchased from Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant for 4,829,992 euros (Rs 500 million). Duties were to be paid on the purchase of this VIP chopper but the governor succeeded in getting an exemption certificate from the Federal Board of Revenue….
Husni Mubarak sits on those Sufas which borders are fixed with GOLD & SILVER in against not to say any single word Israeli Bombing on Palestians. Arab Rulers fly with their own Chartered Planes & live in high-fi palaces and our Pakistani Ministers are as above cited.
And above all the rest of MUSLIM UMMAH is not able to earn even 2$ p.d.; as this is shown in per capita income of MUSLIMS at different part of the world if you may not believe so, then read out The Economist of last year Feb./March.
Please watch what Turkish Prime minister has to say:

People are dieing from not having food,and they are spending millions of Rupees on copter.. Is there anyone who drag them to court for this.PPP are most corrupt party.
Our poor people can not have ambulances how die on the road before getting to hospitals. Shame on Morons of PPP, Mishi and PMLQ.
Mashallah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,If Murdari sorry i mean Zardari is our President.He the most currupt person in Pakistan.Then you See more Luxuries like this…This is Just a start hold your breath.and wait what is next .again they are giving to MQM Mafia..power..so they can easily do what ever they want to do in Karachi.killing innocent people.
I dont know what has happened to our nation, criticizing at everything. Dont you know that NWFP and swat are practically cut-off from Pakistan and the honorable governor needs to go to Islamabad to meet Zardari. Since he can not travel by road therefore a helicopter is being purchased for him. Infact helicopters should be purchased for every minister, MNA and MPA.
Jab Geedar ki mout ati hai to wo shahar ki turf jaata hai isi tara jab politician ki mout ati hai to wo hava main urta hai.

Mir, to whom you’re teaching this philosophical lesson? have you forgotten 10 Bln.US$ aid of the last few years which is still a burning issue of Pakistan Armed Forces & now a days Musharraf & Co. is justifing at US.
This nation is losing bread and butter while our masters are purchasing copters. Why not to question the sincerity of this government
Rich country like Canada provides no official cars or housing (forget about bullet proof) to any federal Ministers, PM is the only person who gets the official car and residence at public expense.
Chief Ministers of the provinces and Ministers use their private cars and regular airlines to travel.
Politicians in Pakistan have kept A and B Class in jails for their own reasons, what if they end up there. We the Muslim society preach about equality and we are infested with class system while US, UK or Canada have no class in the jails.
