This has reference to the news captioned, ‘People to reject anti-BJP parties in polls: Zardari as reported by Nation in its edition of today Wed 6^th March, 2013. I am not going to refer as to what President Asif Ali Zardari has said while he visited the divisions of Bahawalpur and Multan in connection with his election campaign but what struck to the most is that former PM Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani hailing from Multan flew to Bahawalpur by a special plane to meet the President. I corroborate my statement has copied that last paragraph of the news mentioning about Gilani flying from Multan to Bahawalpur.  To the best of my knowledge and belief which is based on part track record because public money has been spent for nothing on one excuse or another and therefore I have very strong feelings that the special plane used by former PM must have been provided by the government to fly to Bahawalpur to meet Zaradri and please correct me if I am wrong which I doubt to be wrong. Multan to Bahawalpur is very much reachable by road and had it been somewhat Multan to Quetta or Multan to Karachi for that matter then a plane could have been unavoidable but how does Gilani justify flying between two adjoining divisions. Should I believe that our former PM being an aristocrat has never ever gone from Multan to Bahawalpur and back by road but by special plane which is astronomically too expensive than travelling in a commercial airline plane along with other co-passengers? Needless to mention Gilani is a certified landlord so he had enough money even before becoming PM but then on top of it his two sons minted money in Haj scandal and Ephedrine scandal and he being their father must have got his lion share because both of them could do alike simply because their father was none but Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Will Public Accounts Committee, Minister of Finance and Auditor General of Pakistan take note of it and let all Pakistanis know as to where lay the truth?
