ISLAMABAD: Ignoring its own manifesto as well as the consensus recommendations of the PAC, the Nawaz Sharif government is all set to launch two housing projects in the federal capital in line with the already-practised controversial policy of quota for government servants, judges, journalists and employees of constitutional bodies and corporations.
One of these schemes offering 4,000 plots on concession would be launched in Bhara Kahu while through the other scheme, 2,800 flats would be built and allotted to the selected classes of society again on discounted rates. Out of these 2,800 flats, 20 percent would be sold to general public but on market price.

In its manifesto, the PML-N had promised housing for low-income families. It said, “Special financial institutions and arrangements will also be made to expand, in cooperation with the provincial governments, housing facilities, especially for lower middle income groups**. At least, 1,000 clusters of 500 houses each for lower income families will be developed on a public-private partnership mode, and the industry will be encouraged to expand investment and to provide employment opportunities in the adjoining areas. The PML-N would strive to eventually provide a house to each Pakistani family through public-private partnership by expanding credit facilities for low-income housing and encouraging provincial governments to provide land for such housing schemes.”
