The defence ministry has been asked to submit its report on the Air Blue crash investigation before a parliamentary panel on human rights within three months.
The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Human Rights further directed the defence ministry to address all cases of compensation for family members of the Air Blue crash victims.
The committee that met under its chairman Riaz Fatyana on Wednesday directed that the Air Blue administration be taken onboard for the report and the responsibility and cause of the crash be presented before the committee.
The defence secretary informed the committee that the report would be sent to the prime minister and upon approval it would be sent to other concerned departments. He added that according to the law the party concerned would have to wait for 60 days for the process to be completed, which is why the report would be submitted in three months.
A report submitted before the committee by the Director-General Civil Aviation Authority claimed that Rs5 million had been paid to the 136 legal heirs of each victim of the crash. Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar, addressing a press briefing, said that officials were aware of the reasons behind the Air Blue crash, but details could not be made public at this time.

Dear all respectable effectees, I totally agree with you that enquiry report should be publicized, but on the other hand I would like to tell all authorities that in this world they might be able to hide themselves from those who want to know the details of the unforgettable accident but for how long. Your time is also passing by so fast. How will you answer Allah Taala? What you did for that matter while you could do something? How will you face all families on the day of judgement? Think only once that what will be your position? What ever you are doing good like prayers and good deeds all of them will be divided into them and thier bad deed if any will be in your account. It's better to accept your mistake and open your Closed Files now and bring the truth in front of public may be your a little effort for them will save you from a very big trial.
