The affectees of December 8,2009 bomb blast are forced to spend their chilled nights in camps in Qasim Bela here because neither the Federal nor provincial governments provided any compensation to more than 100 families whose homes and shops caved in.
The affectees told this correspondent: "We are voters of Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, who and his younger brother, Syed Ahmed Mujtaba Gilani, visited this area with the interval of merely two hours during election, but now they did not visit this area even for pray to departed souls."
They said that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif also did not visit this area pretending that it was a Prime Minister's constituency. They asked where should they go for help/compensation. Our homes are roofless, our widows are paneless. So how can we save ourselves from the coldest season. They demanded compensation of at least Rs 50 million for the 100 affectees, besides payment to injured persons and deceased families.
Some of the affectees, Malik Muhammad Arshad Khor, Ghulam Hussain, Munir Ahmed, Imran Awan, Masihullah Khan, Sakina Bibi, Rehmat Elahi, Zarina Bibi and Mukhtar Elahi, appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take sou moto action to compensate and rehabilitate them.
