Fazl, Durrani grabbed land meant for Kargil martyrs: PTI
[DAWN] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI)’s central leader Shafqat Mahmood on Tuesday alleged that JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman

and former Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Akram Khan Durrani had illegally taken over 1,200 kanals of land allocated for families of deaders and demanded that the matter should be investigated by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

Speaking at a news conference at the National Press Club here, Mr Mahmood, who is also the head of the PTI’s anti-corruption cell, said that in 2001 the KP government had given 140,624 kanals (17,578 acres) of land to Pakistain Army in Dera Ismail Khan

for families of Kargil

deaders, and other deserving serving and retired officials of the army.

"As per terms and conditions signed by the KP government and the GHQ, only legal heirs of the deaders and deserving army personnel were entitled to the allotment. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
in 2002 when the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) government came to power in KP and Mr Durrani became the chief minister, they both managed to get 600 kanals of land each and transferred the land in the names of their front men," he said.

"In 2008 when the Awami National Party

and Pakistain Peoples Party formed the government in KP, the Revenue Minister Makhdum Zada Mureed Kazim from D.I. Khan also started efforts, like Maulana Fazl and Mr Durrani, to get the share in the land. In 2010-11, Mr Kazim illegally got allotted 150 kanals of land to his front men.

"In 2009/10, the NAB, KP, started an inquiry into the illegal allotment of the land to Maulana Fazl and Mr Durrani. Later, a second inquiry was started against Mr Kazim," he said.

Mr Mahmood said that NAB not only locked away
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
Mr Kazim, but he had been facing the case since then, but Maulana Fazl and Mr Durrani were neither arrested nor cases against them were pursued or taken up because they politically managed them.

He urged the current chairman of NAB to look into the issue and explain why cases were not pursued against the two leaders.

"Mr Durrani has a number of properties in different areas of the country and his property does not match with his known sources of income so NAB should initiate cases against both personalities because they have deprived families of deaders from their due rights," the PTI leader alleged.

He said that allegations should be investigated so that the land was handed over to the deserving people.
