The Asian Tour representatives called on PGF president Gen Ashfaq Pervez Keyani at Islamabad and discussed matters of mutual interest. Just imagine a Gen is head of PGF because it’s lucrative job and huge funds is avail Taimur the sectary of PGF disclosed the visitors also inspected the site allotted by the government for PGF Golf Academy and new Golf course in the capital and gave their valuable advice. To be spread over 150 acre close to Islamabad Club the PGF plans to embark on the project soon aimed at taking the game to new heights. The PGF secretary said Douglas, an American architect, designed the course while NESPAK designed the building. Secretary, Sindh Golf Association (SGA) Asad I.A. Khan, an avid golfer and architect associated with NESPAK, was also present on the occasion. The law ministry has approved a controversial land deal between the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and the Pakistan Golf Federation (PGF), under which 150 acres near Shakarparian have been leased out to the federation for 99 years at a throwaway price of Rs41 per square yard, Following the vetting of the “deal” by the law ministry, the CDA would issue a formal allotment letter in a week to the federation being patronised by ISI director-general (inter services intelligence).” We do not know why the law ministry has involved itself in the matter, but now the ministry”s approval has given a legal cover to the deal so that it cannot be described as illegal at any forum, poor nation only can weep on such deal because because army destroying the all civil department by sucking their valuable land by throw away price no one dare to talk up about such biggest scams heavy lose to already poor CDA SOON WILL BE ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSED AND WILL BE HANDED to the any COP COMMANDER as head of CDA ” a senior official of the authority said. The sources said there was no provision in the master plan of Islamabad to establish the second gold club in the same area, but even then the land deal had been approved by the federal cabinet, the CDA Board and now by the law ministry.In a statement, CDA Chairman Kamran Lashari had said Islamabad’s Master Plan had provided for a golf club in this very area. Land is being given to the PGF under clause 7(6) of Land Disposal Regulation-2005, which gives the cabinet special powers to allot a piece of land for any social or recreational project, he said. When contacted, PGF Secretary Taimoor Hassan was reluctant to give details about latest development in the golf club project, which would be run on commercial basis. He said: “The project is still where it was some eight months ago.” However, he said the new club would not be “a money-making venture as it was being established for golfers belonging to middle and low income groups”.” We would establish a golf academy and a driving range in the first phase. Training would be imparted to the young players and new comers in the academy,” he said. The PGF recently selected 10 young golf players from the four provinces who receive monthly stipend of Rs5, 000 each. According to the PGF office-bearer, the federation got 150 acres on the same terms and conditions on which the Islamabad Golf Club had been leased its land some 40 years ago.
It has been learnt that the CDA could have earned billions of rupees if the land had been auctioned for any other commercial venture. Recently, the authority had auctioned six acres in front of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences at the rate of Rs250, 000 per square yards, and fetched Rs6.5 billion. It means that the CDA has suffered a loss of Rs150 billion by auctioning the prime land for establishing the fourth golf club in the twin cities. Two of these clubs are located at PAF Complex and near Ayub National Park, Rawalpindi.It may be mentioned here that Asif Ali Zardari, spouse of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, also wanted to purchase land in the same area at the then market price for establishing a five-star hotel, but failed to do so after Ms Bhutto”s government was dismissed. Sources said there was no need to establish a new golf club in Islamabad when three already existed in the twin cities — the Islamabad Golf Club, the PAF Golf Club and the Army Golf Club — with a total membership of just 1,400.
Now the three clubs stand to lose their members to the modern facilities and prestige the new club promises. It has been learnt that the PGF is inviting the US and the Australian firms to build the new golf club"And the great owner, who must lose their land in an upheaval, the great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know the great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands, it is taken away. When property accumulates in too few hands, it is taken away. And that companion fact: when a majority of people is hungry and cold they will take by force what they need. And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed. The great owners ignored the three cries of history. The land fell into fewer hands, the number of the dispossessed increased, and every effort of the great owners was directed at repression. The money was spent for arms, for gas to protect the great holdings, and spies were sent to catch the murmuring of revolt so that it might be stamped out. The changing economy was ignored, plans for the change ignored; and only means to destroy revolt were considered, while the causes of revolt went on." In fact, the issue of strengthening democracy in the country is pegged to the question of the economic interests of the senior echelons of the defence services, which have grown fat on such economic benefits.
Urban estate is one sector used for personal gratification. The military’s perspective is that it uses a system of merit to reward lands to individuals. This might be true, but the system does not explain how most senior officers end up piling up numerous properties worth millions of rupees. 1ST Tamoor sectary of PGF denied but now the work is started at the site and 25% of work is completed and CDA and Pakistan poor nation lost 150 billion rupees is just one deal. Where 33%people living below to the poverty these monsters are building the golf club and sucking the poor nation money on the name of golf course .where poor nation go for justice to whom we want justice is also seeking justice , army is slowly destroying whole civil department to take over by army officers and managements already 3500 army officers are in civil department as heads or at lucrative pay role .please stop to destroying the civil department and giving them huge lose where we go for right and for justice when ISI DG IS INVOLVED, in land grabbing and destroying the CDA a civil department and see the role of ministry of law to whom we call for justice .even chief justice of supreme court of Pakistan is seeking justice .FOR GOD sake safe the institute from bankrupt and destruction of army to take over them on the name of corruption which they committee and put all blame at poor patriotic politician who don’t say any word about army generals and askri jawoons due to not destroying the good image of army otherwise Pakistan army is corrupt army on globe and at planets . inter services intelligence is basically ruling the Pakistan poor nation from last 60 years directly or indirectly .
