A trial court on Wednesday indicted former minister for religious affairs Syed Hamid Saeed Kazmi, former Haj director general Rao Shakeel and former Haj joint secretary Aftabul Islam Raja in the Haj scam case. Special Judge Central (FIA) Khalid Shabbir charged Hamid Kazmi with acquiring residential buildings for Pakistan pilgrims at exorbitant rates in Saudi Arabia in 2009, taking commission, making advance payments in violation of the policy and appointing Ahmed Faiz as building hiring supervisor. The court framed almost similar charges against all three accused, who rejected the charge-sheet.
Another example of corruption when power is unchecked and dealings by officials are not transparent.
