Fraud & media

Published January 15, 2020

I AM one of the affectees of Fazaia housing scheme, Karachi. I am glad Dawn published an update on proceedings related to the inquiry by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Fazaia housing scheme (Jan 7).

Unfortunately news channels and the government are more interested in broadcasting and discussing issues that are related to the elite and not the misery of the common man.

I urge Dawn to keep close track of all those cases in NAB that are related to fraud with the common man.
