Railways Minister Haji Ghulam Ahmad Bilour has been named as an accused in a multi-billion scrap scandal, currently being investigated by the Punjab chapter of National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
On the orders of the Supreme Court, NAB initiated investigations into the alleged disposal, in clear violations of prescribed rules, of 39,000 metric tons of Railway scrap valued at more than Rs300 million.
The bare facts of the case indicate that the chief controller of stores, in connivance with different contractors, allegedly floated bulk tenders for the sale of scrap for the first time in the history of Pakistan Railways, to restrict competition and keep prospective bidders away.
:
The alleged sale of the scrap had been made at throwaway prices in gross violation of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) and departmental rules for embezzlement through misuse of authority by causing loss to the national exchequer, investigations revealed.
Investigations revealed that when the tenders were awarded, the rate of scrap was about Rs37,000 per metric ton, while the Pakistan Railways auctioned it for Rs28,700 per metric ton.
:
Following the Supreme Court’s intervention, the bureau has been able to recover Rs3.5 billion from the accused in account of 34,000 out of the 39,000 metric tons of scrap, sources told The Express Tribune.
NAB reluctant to arrest accused

First of all don’t create sensation on this news. The fraud is 300 millions and news heading is quite misleading. People involved have been arrested included former CCS (highest official in stores branch). Most of the amount has been recovered. GM have been put under ECL and if case processed he will face the charges. These are only allegations and needs to be inquired. If found guilty, minister and GM will be punished. I don’t know why you are creating this drama? You just find any news which can defame present PPP government at any cost. Isn’t it?

Now tell me which haram khor ever been prosecuted in Pakistan in other governments for stealing billions since 1947?

Selective reading, eh? Read what I highlighted above, pick smaller amount to appear it a smaller crime… btw Rs 300 million is not worth a news anymore? Since no haramkhor was ever prosecuted before, lets forgive Haji Bilour too, because after all he belongs to saint political party headed by angel Zardari.
