ISLAMABAD: Talal Bugti, the son of slain Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, has made the startling allegation that top state office holders had demanded Rs 500 million kickback in exchange for immediate release of the rent/royalty money of the gas fields in the Bugti area, not paid for the past six years.
In a telephonic talk with The News from Quetta, Talal Bugti named the three top men of the PPP government, the president, the governor of Balochistan and the interior adviser and said they were all partners in the proposed bribe.
Talal Bugti said: They are willing to pay me the outstanding dues (of about one billion rupees) but only after getting half of it either in advance or shortly following the release of the pending payment to my family.
There is a chain from the president down to the governor and Rehman Malik who want to distribute the amount among themselves. Certainly, they will eat up Rs 500 million, Talal Bugti charged.
Narrating his meetings in October with the president, the interior adviser and other influential figures at the federal level, he claimed that Zardari personally approved payment of Rs 300 million, fifty percent of which was the legitimate right of his children. This amount is to be deducted from the overall payment of the rent.
After the presidents approval, I approached the Balochistan governor to obtain this amount who promised it in a few weeks but that day is yet to come. Rehman Malik, Talal Bugti said, was present in the meeting with Zardari and had also supported the prompt release of Rs 300 million but subsequently one Mr Aasi, a middle-man (broker) of the interior adviser, approached me demanding Rs 500 million.
