MPs flay Raisani for purchasing costly plane

Members of Parliament condemned Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani for purchasing a personal airplane costing more than one billion rupees PPP MNA Syed Nasir Ali Shah on Wednesday said it was shameful that people of Baluchistan were dying off hunger while the CM was abusing people’s money on such luxuries. He said that the nation held a beggar’s bowl while the CM was leading a lavish lifestyle. “When Rome was burning, Nero was playing his flute,” said Ali, making an analogy between the ‘Great Fire of Rome’ and present day conditions in Balochistan. It would have been far better, said Ali, if Raisani had used this amount to construct a university. PML-N MNA Sardar Yaqoob Khan Nasir said that the CM had done nothing except purchasing airplanes. Another PPP member Ayatullah Durrani said it seemed that the CM preferred planes over the people of Balochistan. Senator Abdul Hayee Baluch said that an era of plundering had prevailed in Balochistan and no one was there to question the corruption. Mir Hasil Khan Bazinjo also criticized the CM stating that he had no time to spare for the welfare of the people.
