MUZAFFARGARH:
The diamond necklace of Turkish prime minister’s wife, which has been at the centre of controversy for a few weeks now, has new ‘claimants’, as per reports.
The residents of Mahmoodkot and Budh areas say that the necklace is theirs, and they should be given the right to decide about its status.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyep Erdogan (who was president of Turkey in 2010), along with his daughter Sümeyye, had visited Mahmoodkot on Oct 13, 2010, with then prime minister Gilani and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif. At a public ceremony attended by hundreds of flood victims, Erdogan’s daughter gave the necklace to Gilani on behalf of her mother for the flood-affected families.
Gilani thanked the Turkish family and said this necklace would be given to some women of flood-hit areas as their wedding gift.
He said Gilani should have spent the auctioned money of the necklace on Mahmoodkot and Budh areas since the necklace was donated and announced here at Mahmoodkot.
If one wants to get out of hole, one should stop digging. Mr. Gilani has a necklace and it has become a n albatross around his neck. Give it up and be done with it.
