Mariam Nawaz, daughter of Mian Nawaz Sharif, has recently entered into politics. She is just an amateur. In line with practice to keep the politics in home, Nawaz Sharif has brought her and is now grooming her out. On 4 April 2012, she distributed laptops among brilliant students at Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore. It is not clear if the laptops distributed by her are from Sharif’s personal pockets or from PML(N)’s expense or from the public money. Shahbaz Sharif as Chief Minister or any other Punjab government authority distributing it can, though, be a bit accepted. Mariam Nawaz Sharif is not included in any form in the government. Her distributing the laptops is for her future grooming.
In the 2010 floods, Punjab was the worst affected. The prime minister of Pakistan and Sharifs both appealed the Pakistanis working in foreign countries to financially help in rehabilitating the affected people. Like other places, in Bahrain the Pakistani Club also raised funds for this purpose. As people all over the world were moved by the conditions of the affected people, dozens of people in Bahrain donated money for construction of complete houses. The Pakistani Club delegation went to Lahore and signed an agreement with Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif. All the newspapers in Pakistan printed photograph of signing of this agreement.
Under this agreement a complete new city named Bahrain Town in Muzaffargarh was to be constructed with modern standard units for displaced people. All money was to be provided by the Pakistani Club from donations and the Punjab government was to provide free land. The money collected initially was given to the Punjab government. Major portion of the fund was collected later and still is with the Pakistani Club as the work did not proceed at site. Will anyone confirm if Mariam Nawaz distributed laptops from personal pockets or were these the same which Shabaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif are distributing from the public money thus doing the same thing for which they daily criticise Zardari and Gilani?
If Mariam Nawaz is handing out laptops from the same lot purchased from public money, I would like to request the federal government to take control of funds lying with the Pakistani Club through the embassy and also ask the Pakistani Club of Bahrain to refund money to donors as the fund money is not safe for the noble purpose it was collected for.
