  1. 50 million is a very small amount for the rehabilitaion of flood affected areas. PM is just making jok with the people of GLT/BLN. He is making drama only.

  2. a penny saved is a penny earned
    if its an announcement it can be done in ISB
    was there a need to spend money inconvenience the people and bring everything to a standstill just to announce a pittance?
