Not having patience with those who aren’t meticulous with their facts, Diljaan Khattak, a wrongly imprisoned inmate at Attock Jail, corrected his cell-mate of two years, the 18-year-old Shafiq Gujjar, that the correct name for the Diamir-Bhasha Dam Fund is not the PM-CJP Dam Fund, but the CJP-PM Dam Fund.

 

“Chief Justice Saqib Nisar was the one who had the idea of starting a fund for the dam,” said Khattak, who is currently serving a 5 year sentence for a violent crime at a factory in Nowshehra from which he had resigned four months ago, even though he was looking for a job in Lahore when the incident happened. “The PM also wanted the fund, so he just joined in.”

 

“But CJP was the one who started it. Is it fair to have his name be preceded by the PM’s,” asked Khattak of Gujjar, also wrongfully imprisoned for 4 years after being named in an FIR by feuding distance relatives. “I cannot stand injustice.”

 

“Just who does the PM think he is? What a shallow, petty man this fellow is, robbing the chief justice of what is clearly his due. Some people simply forget themselves and are consumed by personal glory,” said the passionate young man.

 

“But we should at least use the correct terminology,” he said to his cell-mate. “I used to have the same argument with Rafiq Saab last year, may he rest in peace.”
