MNA alleges selling of BISP cards by local PPP leader

CHITRAL 27 May 09: : PML MNA from Chitral Shahzada Mohiuddin has categorically rejected the allegation of nepotism and bungling leveled against him by some PPP leaders regarding the distribution of Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP).

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, he said that most of the cards were distributed among the poor women by the PPP leaders and workers at union council level. He alleged that one of the PPP leaders Advocate Mir Dullah Jan had sold the cards in the three union councils of Lotkoh.

Expressing his astonishment over the allegation he said that the sole responsibility of wrong distribution of cards rested with the PPP leaders as he had placed the cards at their disposal for fair distribution

The MNA said that he would welcome if an enquiry was initiated from the federal government in this regard. He said that in future he would not involve the PPP leaders and workers in the process of cards distribution.

The PML-Q MNA also hailed the decision of the prime minister to waive off the small agricultural loans to the farmers of Malakand Division. He demanded similar concession in other nationalised banks and financial institutions.--(Dawn)
