Cheques given to Joseph Colony victims bounce
The cheques distributed among victims of the Joseph Colony attack by the Punjab government bounced, according to a news report published by Express News on Thursday.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had announced Rs 0.5 million in compensation for each of those affected in the mob attack. However, the 265 cheques distributed by the government have bounced.
According to reports, the finance ministry had issued the amount promised. When the cheques bounced, the victims started protesting.
On March 9, an over 3,000-strong mob had set ablaze more than 150 houses of Christians in the Joseph Colony over alleged blasphemous remarks against Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by Sawan Masih, a 28-year-old Christian sanitation worker.
