KARACHI:

Compensation cheques, given by the Punjab government to  families of the Data Darbar attack victims have not been honoured.


Sources revealed that banks have refused to entertain the cheques, even after the 15-day processing time. The reason given has been lack of funds in the Punjab government.


Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah rejected the impression that the provincial government does not have the funds. He said they the due compensation will be given soon.


Families of the deceased and injured were given cheques ranging from Rs75,000 to Rs500,000.

Hasan | 13 years ago | Reply At least they got the cheques and probably will get paid in a few days but 80+ Ahmadis killed earlier than the data darbar incident never got any compensation. Not everyone is an equal Pakistani in the eye of Punjab government. What a surprise.
