ISLAMABAD – Senator Sabir Ali Baloch of the ruling PPP has not paid the bill for a hotel room in Geneva despite repeated reminders over the last four months, followed by the hotel’s warning that it would not accept any more bookings from the Pakistani mission.
The hotel management has threatened that if the outstanding Rs 129,721 were not cleared immediately, they would inform the UNO office of the matter. According to the documents available with Pakistan Today, Senator Baloch overstayed at Movenpick Hotel in Geneva during his IPU-related visit in October 2010, but did not clear his outstanding dues.
The correspondence between the Senator and the hotel management continued through the country’s mission in Geneva and the Senate Secretariat in Pakistan, but to no avail. Interestingly, when the hotel management repeatedly demanded the payment, the senator forwarded a wrong credit card number to them.
The Pakistan mission wrote to the Senate Secretariat: “It is of utmost importance that the outstanding amount be cleared. It further said that the hotel authorities had also warned that if the payment was not made, it would not accept any more bookings from the Pakistan mission and inform the UN office of the matter.
