Homeless men of FATA

The news was shocking. I was shocked to know that President Zardari has been pleased to allot houses to the ministers elected from FATA area. These houses are supposedly worth millions of rupees. Until now, documents of some 15 houses have been handed over and the rest of will be handed over to the rest of ministers. These properties have been given to them as a gift for supporting President Zardari in his Presidential election. For getting these houses in Islamabad, the FATA ministers have long raised slogans in the Parliament. Wow What a wonderful country we have where the President is looting the national treasury to please his fellows for having supported him in his election. -MURAD ALI MOHMAND, Peshawar, October 27.
