The Government of Pakistan’s Punjab province has justified its allocation of over Rs 61 million to the largest centre of the Jamaat-ud-Dawah, saying the funds are needed to continue the services being provided to people by the facility.
A spokesman of the Punjab Government said the Punjab Government had taken "administrative control of the welfare institutions being run by (the JuD) in compliance with Security Council resolutions of the United Nations". The spokesman further said the Government had appointed an official as an administrator to "ensure the provision of basic facilities to the local people".
