Ab tak 1 arab 76 crore dollar wasool hue hain, aur taqreeban 80 crore dollar ada nahin hue.

Attorney general ko pehle muamle ka jaiza lena hoga, aur Etisalat ko irade ka notice bhejne se pehle unhein wazir-e-azam ya wafaqi hukumat ki manzoori darkar hogi.
Senators ne shikayat ki ke unhein farokht ke muahide tak rasai nahin di gayi. Etisalat ki taraf se fauri tabsira samne nahin aaya.
