Selling The Whole Grave Yard

As I wrote in my post yesterday the Bye-Laws of the D C Colony society are a nice piece of work.

They offer quite effective safeguards and water-tight guarantees against fraud and pilfering. But, unfortunately, not against day light robbery.

Especially if the robbery is being committed by a fertile mind like the one Khalid Sultan, the president of the society, carries on his hunched shoulders. His ample brain power would be worthless if he cannot make his way into the treasure trove called society funds, ignoring and completely disregarding the Bye-laws with complete impunity.

For instance, Article 34 (8) says that the plots of the colony can only be allotted “as per approved Master Plan” and “spaces reserved for open places, parks, mosque, hospital, and grave yards, etc will not be reduced/ changed in any case.” That is what the Bye-Law says.

But does Khalid Sultan give a damn?

Let us see.

The site reserved for fire station, an amenity essentially required to save life and limb and property in case of fire, has been sub-divided into residential plots and plots either sold or doled out to well-placed people to recruit them as potential allies to forestall any future probe into any wrong doing.

Fire station was not the only target of Khalid Sultan's never-quenching and ever-increasing greed.

The sites reserved for parks, markets even hospital have been butchered into residential or commercial plots in direct contravention of the said Article of the Bye-Laws.

The grave yard of the society did not escape Khalid Sultan's voracity either.

He leased it out to one of his cronies, Farooq Gondal, for multiple years.

Petty thieves dig graves at night and rip coffin shrouds of the freshly buried dead bodies. But Khalid Sultan is no petty thief. He is a highway man. A day light robber. He has sold the whole grave yard.

But before he sold the grave yard he must have sold his soul, first, to Satan.

What a pathetic president this otherwise decent D C Colony has!
