The federal government has stopped Zakat funds and it would affect millions of the underprivileged in the province, District Zakat Committee Chairman Muhammad Ilyas Khattak said Thursday.
Talking to The News, Ilyas Khattak said the government decision would affect thousands of the poor in the city. He said Zakat fund was usually issued twice a year. He said that on the one hand the federal government was earmarking billions of rupees to Benazir Income Support Programme while on the other hand Zakat funds have been stopped. He demanded of the federal government to release the Eid, ‘Guzara’ and rehabilitation allowances before Eidul Fitr to poor people.
Meanwhile, Zakat committee held a meeting, which condemned the decision of the federal government to stop issuance of Zakat funds. The participants of the meeting threatened to tender their resignations if the government did not release Zakat funds in the holy month of Ramazan.
