elements and further we are trying to complete goals set by the caretaker government during
our short period of rule.

would have not been facing debt problems, if lands were wisely and according to law during
the past. He said that if the working of Revenue department is corrected, all economical
problems will be solved. He demanded to abolish present land allotment policy and make a
new one because some people misusing the present land allotment policy for their personal
gains and send money earned through wrongdoings to other countries. Mohsin Sheikhani said
