What Is Wrong With These Pictures?



What is wrong with these pictures?

Apparently, nothing.

They are simply pictures of two houses that look similar. Sitting back to back in the Sutlej Block of D C Colony, Gujranwala. Exact replicas.

But what you don't see in the pictures is what is wrong with them.

One of them belongs to Arshad Cheema, who recently got out of Secretary's post of D C Colony. The other house is owned by Muhammad Hussain who is an employee, a very influencial one, of the same colony and is still very much there.

These houses not only look similar but they are being built by the same contractor.

The similarities don't end there though.

Their owners helped themselves financially from the same (apparently bottomless) pit of money called in other words: D C Colony. This is all happening under the watchful eyes of Khalid Sultan and his hand-picked Management Committee members who received their own cut before they allowed to let it happen.

They are all stealing from the same cookie jar.

Now some fresh news: I have heard from a very reliable source that the new secretary, Zafar Niazi, is upset that the residents are demanding to see the books as Bye-Laws give them entitlement. He admits that residents' demand is legal but still believes there must not be "undue" interference from lowly residents. There must not be any transparency in Management Committee's dirty dealings, he thinks.

Major Irshad who recently resigned from his seat in the Management Committee has been seen in society's office today. I believe he is being pressurized to take his resignation back. But he has promised residents that his is firm in his decision and he won't become "Abdul Hamid Dogar" again.

We will see.

There is news floating around that a meeting of the Management Committee has been called on Saturday where residents' demands are going to be discussed.
