The News reports 450 Billion Rupees housing scam by Housing Minister of Musharraf regime. Syed Safwanullah of MQM has reportedly sold 3,281 government owned properties in Karachi worth 450 Billion rupees without any approval, which is the biggest scam in the real estate history of Pakistan.
Prime Minister Gillani has cancelled the illegal allotment of all these properties on inquiry by estate officer Sher Afzal Khan, who investigated in Karachi despite serious threats to his life.
Few days back speaking to general workers convention at 90, Altaf Hussain said MQM doesn’t take a second to kick workers out on corruption charges. Indeed it was a good show for the cameras but the harsh reality on the ground is quite contrary. Many of you have seen these clips on TV recently but such stories are just formalities. Since poor chaps like WK cannot go beyond or take on BIG GUNS but at his place its a drop in ocean. THE NEWS makes a stunning disclosure yesterday about the biggest scam in the real estate history of Pakistan and which should have been all over NEWS papers today but since the GUN rules in KHI, publishing this story itself was a big deal for THE NEWS. Rauf Klasra has done a stunning job indeed.
