Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has said that land encroachment is illegal under the law and the government will set examples by getting its property vacated from the grabbers. What is land grabbing?
The vested interests always keep their interest supreme in making any law. As such in the definition of land grabbing the sought-after land grabbed under the name of "allotment on quota" at throw-away price has been excluded.
If Shaukat Aziz is really right in setting an example then he ought to show it by getting vacated the posh plot worth billions of rupees on Bunder Road, Karachi, behind Bundoo Khan Kabab recently allotted by former Sindh Minister Imtiaz Sheikh at a nominal price to one of his servants which otherwise in the open market could have fetched billions.
Perhaps Shaukat Aziz will not set this example as he is to keep the chair of his boss safe which otherwise Colonel Riaz Jafri (Retd) says Shaukat is keeping an army of ministers while "poor" Musharraf is struggling for the country's economy.
