PESHAWAR: Pakistan Peoples Party has demanded of the National Accountability Bureau to conduct an inquiry into the funds of billion tree tsunami project and take action against the relevant people for wastage of the national wealth on `f ake` plantation.

Addressing a meeting of his party workers here on Friday, PPP provincial president Mohammad Humayun Khan said that the government claimed to have planted over a billion saplings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but the plants were not visible on ground and thus huge national funds went down the drain. He said that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leadership had always made tall claims to bring change in the country within a few months, but it could not do so.

Humayun Khan said that NAB should check the sites and collect details of the nurseries, species and beneficiaries of the project to ensure the actual number of plants and the funds spent on the scheme so far.

The PPP leader also urged NAB to makepublic the inquiry report about the Bus Rapid Transit project which had badly affected lives of the citizens for the past about two years. He said that the government had f ailed to complete a single development scheme despite being in power for the second term in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

`PPP will not let anyone loot the national wealth and will take active part in the campaign for recovery of the plundered funds,` he said.

The PTI government, he said, had forgotten its promises and started victimisation of leaders of the opposition parties, but it would not succeed in its plan.

Meanwhile, Humayun Khan paid rich tribute to the late PPP leader Syed Qamar Abbas for the services he had rendered for the welfare of poor people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said that the credit went to the Bhutto family that enabled the people to serve the downtrodden and bring real change in the fate of masses. Bureau Report
