The meeting of the PAC was held under the chairmanship of Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah here at the Parliament House. The committee chairman said that land of the Haji Camp was purchased with the money of people and Hajis would face problems due to its auction.
Official of the Ministry of Religious Affairs told the committee that there was no quota of haj for the parliamentarians. Audit officials informed the committee that there was Rs 1.30 billions embezzlement in the Evacuee Trust Property and the department did not give cash book to the audit officials.
