Thanks PANZ One thing you forget to tell that PANZ have only 41 member, 949 to 41 in two years, not a very good effort, on top of this you have $12000 in funeral funds and only $2000 in PANZ accounts , when last PANZ left $17000 total We thought you guys are not tall talker, you have proved it wrong, PANZ president case more then health reason, this is first singe “ AGIAY AGIAY DAKHEEA HOTA HAI KAI” Is history repeating itself , May Sohni Dharti ask, have you ever think where PANZ is going to unite all Pakistani, we mean booking of the hall ,would you need contributions form public or some GABER GHHAN is taking the responsibility for food or it is meeting of few selected people with President of Pakistan, in some five star restaurant Sohni Dharti think Tauqir Khan is most suitable and recognised person in Pakistani community to receive the President Parvaiz Musharaf , why not we make him care taker President? Just for President visit , then we can sit on table to resolve the 14 of AUG , until then leave 14th AUG case in states que

The funds which were left by last PANZ were 17000. We never touch the account yet. We did  not spend any money from the General fund or Funeral fund except one payment which was made to a person who was eleigebal for that , And he will repay it back to the Association. I have been spending from my pocket so far We never withdraw any money from the account except that one payment. Othervise our funds gone up not down.. But this is not the time to talk about funds and all this is the time to Unite the community and Make a programe about 14th Aug and President visit.   According to the constitution Vice president became President. Once two new positions filled than we all 5 can sit and talk about final positions.   That what I announced in the last sunday meeting.   Imtiaz ( G.s panz)
