ISLAMABAD: Housing Minister Rehmatullah Khan Kakar has submitted a new list in the Senate containing the names of 53 former judges, including ex-chief justices of the Supreme Court and high courts, 65 former bureaucrats, 59 journalists and 36 politicians who were given plots during 1985-2001.

The names were forwarded to the Upper House in reply to a written question put forward by one of the senators, who had asked the Ministry of Housing and Works to give the names of all those judges, journalists, politicians, bureaucrats, etc, who were given plots by the ministry since 1985-2001.

The new list contains the names of those beneficiaries who were given plots by the Federal Employees Housing Foundation, the Ministry of Housing and Works. The names of politicians in particular and others in general might surprise the public if they ever came to the surface as majority of them had got residential plots allotted in their names from General Zia to Junejo, Benazir Bhutto to Nawaz Sharif by the Capital Development Authority in the same period and the list might be huge.

The journalists were given plots under the government quota of two per cent, fixed for all those journalists who did not have any house or plot in their names in Islamabad.The nine former judges of the Supreme Court are part of this new list while rest of the judges who got plots belonged to the four provincial higher courts.
