Islamabad, September 9: Former member of the district council Gilgit from Gojal valley and a contestant in the GBLA general elections, Raja Shehbaz Khan, has thanked the Chinese government for sending relief goods for the disaster affected people of Gojal valley.

He said that around 2,000 tons of relief goods have already been received at Khunzhrav Pass, while more trucks are awaited.

“It is shameful that some elected representatives are trying to sell the fuel obtained as relief”, he said while talking to Pamir Times. He threatened to expose the leaders if they did not change their mind. “The relief items can not be sold”, he said. He further said that if the fuel is sold then the money obtained shall be spent on welfare of the people of Gojal only.

Shehbaz also thanked the Pakistan Army  for facilitating the disaster affected people. “Pakistan Army will have to play an important role to ensure transparency in safekeeping and distribution of the relief items”, he said.

Shehbaz also said that his personal efforts to obtain the relief goods are a proof that he wants to serve the people. “Even in January 2010 I had obtained relief goods for Gojal but the chief minister and speaker refused to accept the goods”, he said.

Shehbaz also said that the relief goods have been sent by the people of China for the people of Gojal (Hunza). “Hunza has a 900 year old relationship with China and our friendship is stronger than the Himalayas”, he said. “No party or individual can claim credit for bringing the relief goods because it is from the people of China to the people of Hunza”, he further said.

  1. Who is Mr Shehbaz? seriously… and how many Chinese officials in Beijing know Mr Shehbaz? this is getting so much funnier, on one hand he is speaking against the Representatives and on other hand he is claiming because of him the aid arrived. For Gods sake stop praising yourself. people need to be aware of uneducated representatives sitting in chinar baag and also should be aware of these self proclaimed leaders of far flung villages whom the outside world don’t know nothing about. In this scenario we need to trust our volunteers in distributing the things fairly.

  4. dear editor…………
    i have no any concern about the past of Mr. Shabaz, but now if he is doing some good jobs and serves the people then we should be open and appreciate his good deeds.. be open people..

  5. Good opposition is constructive, no one knows this corrupt government can do any thing regarding to the relief goods provided by the Chinese government. we appreciate if Shehbaz or any other leader in this difficult situation can share their effort to overcome the problems.
    people of the region must think collectively for the betterment of the area rather then individually for politics.
    Many thanks to the Chinese government for providing the relief goods and for the local volunteers who are working in this operation.

  6. I do not know whose efforts materialized Chinese help in terms of in-kind goods, if it is because of some of the efforts of Mr Shabaz then credit goes to him otherwise displaying him as leader in the crisis without any input will damage the credibility of Pamir Times.
