ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Hukumat Islamabad ke One Constitution Avenue ko chand maheenon mein five-star hotel mein tabdeel kar degi, Wazir-e-Dakhla Mohsin Naqvi ne Budh ko kaha. Yeh bayan wafaqi cabinet ke aik inquiry report ki manzoori dene ke baad aaya, jis mein wuzara ke mutabiq project mein fraud saamne aaya.
"Islamabad mein hotels ki shadeed kami hai. Hum jald hotels ki aik bari chain ke saath muahida karne ki koshish karenge," Naqvi ne reporters se kaha. Unhon ne kaha ke cabinet ke faisle ke baad imarat ab qanooni taur par hukumat ke qabze mein hai, aur Capital Development Authority (CDA) is ke muamlat apne haath mein le legi.
Twin towers ko taqreeban do dahai pehle five-star hotel ke taur par manzoor kiya gaya tha, aur baad mein unhein apartments mein tabdeel kar diya gaya. CDA ne wajibat ada na karne par lease mansookh kar di, jis ka faisla Islamabad High Court ne April mein barqarar rakha. Makeenon ko May mein bedakhal kar diya gaya, aur Wazir-e-Azam Shehbaz Sharif ne phir mushtarka tehqeeqati team (JIT) ki tashkeel ka hukm diya.
Wuzara ke mutabiq report mein kya saamne aaya
Wazir-e-Mansooba Bandi Ahsan Iqbal ne kaha ke JIT, jis mein National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Federal Investigation Agency, Federal Board of Revenue aur doosre idaron ke arkan shamil thay, is nateeje par pahunchi ke project "beqaidgi aur dhandli" par mubni tha. Unhon ne kaha ke boli mein hera pheri ki gayi, developers ko faida pahunchane ke liye bank guarantee ki shart khatam kar di gayi aur apartments ghair qanooni taur par farokht kiye gaye.
"CDA ko mulawwis paya gaya," Iqbal ne kaha. Unhon ne kaha ke JIT ne Abdul Hafeez Sheikh ko mastermind qarar diya aur sabiq CDA chairman Kamran Lashari ko un ahalkaron mein shamil kiya jin ke bare mein us ka kehna tha ke unhon ne mili bhugat ki thi. Report shaya nahin ki gayi, naam liye gaye kisi bhi shakhs ko mujrim qarar nahin diya gaya, aur un ka mauqaf fori taur par dastiyab nahin tha.
NAB ko hidayat ki gayi hai ke woh is mein mulawwis afrad ke khilaf karrawai karein. Iqbal ne kaha ke JIT ne yeh sifarish bhi ki ke Sheikh aur un ki company ko sarkari mansoobon se blacklist kiya jaye, mansooba nae sire se neelam kiya jaye aur imarat ko naya naam diya jaye, kyunke is ka pata marketing ke liye istemal hua tha.
Khareedaron ka kya hoga
Jin logon ne apartments khareede, un ko muawza diya jayega. Iqbal ne kaha ke un ki asal raqam wapas ki jayegi, aur adaigiyan Karachi Interbank Offered Rate ke mutabiq adjust ki jayengi "taake unhein nuqsan na uthana pare". Naqvi ne kaha ke report ke baad yeh adaigiyan hukumat par lazim hain. Kisi bhi wazir ne na waqt ka taeyyun kiya aur na kul raqam bataee.
Iqbal ke mutabiq JIT ne CDA aur us ke ordinance ki az sar-e-nau tashkeel, aik khud mukhtar master plan commission, records ki digitisation aur planning aur nifaz par mamoor afsaron ke har do saal baad tabadle ki sifarish bhi ki.
