PTI government commits yet another blunder

ISLAMABAD – PTI government makes yet another blunder by providing a wrongnumber for the account opened to collect donations for Diamer Basha andMohmand Dam Fund.

As Prime Minister Imran Khan tried to enlist the support of countrymen andoverseas Pakistanis for the said fund, the party uploaded an image with theaccount and IBAN (International Bank Account Number) of the dam fund,however, the latter was not correct.

The original IBAN for ‘Supreme Court Of Pakistan Diamer Basha and MohmandDam Fund’ is PK06SBPP0035932999990014.

However, PTI missed the ‘p’ followed by SBP in an image posted on theofficial verified account of chairman, Imran Khan; the image is stillavailable on the facebook pagelink.

Following the ‘typo’, the social media users complained that they wereunable to donate to the fund because of invalid number, as the same IBANwas carried by the mainstream media as well.

Requesting @StateBank_Paklink share the rightIBAN number foe Diamer Bhasha DAM for overseas Pakistanis, we are unable toadd this IBAN as beneficiary, we are getting “Invalid IBAN Error”, thanks@PTIofficial link@fawadchaudhry link@ImranKhanPTI linklink#DamsforPakistanlinkpic.twitter.com/JHoggKQmEQ link

In his brief address to the nation, Imran Khan said it was important forPakistan to build dams as failure to do so would be detrimental to futuredestinations.

“Experts say if we do not make dams we will face a drought in seven years.We have to start making dams from today,” he added.

Khan commended CJP Nisar for his initiative of dams fund but added that itwas not his job, a civilian leader must have taken the responsibility toresolve the issue.
