Abdul Qadir Baloch urges K-P govt to utilise Rs26 billion for IDPs
In an interview, he said the K-P government was getting an extra amount from other provinces after the National Finance Commission (NFC) award.
He said that the federal government is utilising all available resources to provide IDPs with the required facilities.
In response to a question, he said that the government would provide clothes to the IDPs so that they could celebrate Eidul Fitr in a proper manner.
Baloch urged political parties - particularly Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf - to avoid giving irresponsible statements regarding the issue of IDPs.
Moreover, Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) distributed relief assistance among IDPs in Bannu.
Relief assistance worth Rs400 million consisting of non-food items was distributed among 800 families via a phase-wise programme in Bannu, according to Radio Pakistan’s correspondent Aftab Sherazi.
The Punjab chapter provided food assistance among 700 families, he said adding that the Turkish Red Crescent Society provided relief assistance to 500 families.

Mr. Baloch, save your wicked and heinous political game for another time! DO NOT PLAY WITH MILLIONS OF HUMEN LIVES! You and your boss are and will be responsible for any and every human tragedy that is occurring as we speak! Poor displaced people are hungery, sick, and in the middle of no where!
yet another highly irresponsible statement by PML-N representative.....
Federal government has money to spend on metro, BMW and dogs for the PM house but not the IDPs and he expects a war torn province to spend even more on what is primarily a federal government responsibility. Or may be the federal government can consider spending less on advertising and more on relief. Punjab Government provided for 700 out of 88,000 families, that is even less than one percent given that Punjab is the biggest of all provinces.
nice move by baloach. He does not want the federal government to give the 6 billion which are spifically for the IDPs. Instead he is greedy to get the NFC award from kpk out which was not even assigned to the IDPs in the first place.
