Jacobabad airbase saved at cost of Balochistan | Pakistan | News | Newspaper | Daily | English | Online

ISLAMABAD – Deputy Chairman Senate Mir Jan Mohammad Khan Jamali on Friday made a stunning statement that an airbase was being saved from floodwaters at the cost of Balochistan and as a result more than 85 percent part of Jaffarabad has been inundated by flood.
The statement came after Secretary Health Khushnood Lashari on Wednesday informed the Senate Committee on Health that Shahbaz Airbase (Jacobabad) could not be used for relief operations in the flood-affected areas of Jacobabad as the airbase was under the control of US.
Jamali, however, did not elaborate his point and limited his remarks to this statement while talking to this scribe. He also severely criticised the PPP-led government for its mishandling of the disaster. “The people should compare how Z A Bhutto’s PPP had handled the flood situation in 1976 and how the present PPP rulers are managing it, this would unfold many things,” he added.
The Deputy Chairman Senate has also written a letter to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry requesting him to take a suo motto notice to ascertain the responsibility of the devastation caused by breaching of Thori Band near Guddu Barrage at Indus River. The breach has caused destruction at a massive level in district Jaffarabad of Balochistan. The letter has raised many eyebrows that the people even sitting in the Parliament are also seeking justice from the Supreme Court.
In his letter (No. DCS/2010 dated August 18, 2010) addressed to the CJP, a copy of which is available with TheNation, Jamali blamed that ‘the breach on the left bank of Indus is reportedly to save some influentials’ standing crops and lands without an assessment of the destruction to residents of the district of Jaffarabad’.

PAF bases mostly are ex RAF bases built post 1919 war establishment for watch and ward duties on the NW frontier, and the British were quite meticulous in mapping the Indus watershed, drainge divide and drainage basins - as well as other Punjab rivers - before establishing those bases. Same goes for Army Cantonments.


SO this is just BS NEWS I AM SORRY!!!!! the bases were never under any threat!

Like Pakistani friends obsession with kashmir

So do you agree with the article?

Do you know there are not one but many stories where these protective "bunds" were broken for protecting someones own interest ??

Just Google and see how many allegations are there from the people.

This story can not be authenticated by the saying of one person only, it needs a judicial inquiry to see where and who did these actions.

And not just one claim, rather whole bunch of claims of such actions.

But since this article had Balochistan in it, and we all know the obsession of our Indian friends with Baluchistan, so this one got posted, while neglecting the dozens of other such claims.

 

[Awesome]

Jamali needs to back up his statement with evidence. The military has risked life and their own salaries towards helping out our people and this if not proven is libelous.

Being from the PML-Q he has a vested interest in putting down any good work being done in these efforts, but if he has any proof, I'm all ears.

Like Pakistani friends obsession with kashmir

Kashmir is a disputed territory whose majority people want liberation from the brutal occupation of Indian forces.

So plzz don't derail the threat as there is no comparison between Baluchistan and Kashmir, they are miles apart.

So watch it where you take it.

 

[somebozo]
