What about selling couple of BMWs that your brother bought for millions and giving it to IDPs? Or diverting money from other misplaced projects such as laptops that cost billions?
7000 Rs when potatoes are sold at 100 Rs/kg is not going to last for long. But who cares as long as you do your photo session.

The Brigade Headquarters should have arrested him and handed over to KPK Police for murder of 14 innocent human beings in Lahore.

No one wants a criminal handing out nations tax money. And no one believes you what you say.

Good job, Mr. Shahbaz, and Salam to people of Punjab for contribution to help IDPS in KP.
Isn't it the job of IK's government in KP to do what Punjab is doing for IDPS: opening colleges and hospitals?

Shame on you for playing political point scoring games on the plight of the displaced people. You are a photo session CM.

I am no fan of PML-N, but you got to hand it to Shahbaz Sharif, who never misses a photo-op opportunity-here he is visiting KPK and handing out the cheques to the IDPs and acting like PM. The question is where was the CM of KPK? Should he be not there with CM Punjab? What dereliction of duty. Perhaps IK should take notice and take some time off from planning those Tsunami marches- which are important for the future of democracy, but surely the needs of the IDP's are in the present and must be addressed urgently. Another simple advice to IK, start with solving small everyday problems faced by the ordinary people in your own back yard, one at a time-and at the same time prepare yourself and your party for the future, to address the big national problems, again one at a time.

Well done Shahbaz. That is what expected from a younger brother to increase the vote bank of the party.

He is the only leader in Pakistan who did some remarkable job... his work is no doubt unbeatable.... if he continues, Punjab would be much ahead in the country.... we in KPK has badluck that voted for Imran Khan who badly disappointed us... now if election comes PTI will never win even a single seat.
