Islamabad (Lord Media): The Cabinet Division has disclaimed any association with a housing society named after it. The division clarified that it has no connection with the “Cabinet Division Employees Cooperative Housing Society” registered under this name.
The Cabinet Division stated that it has no administrative, financial, or legal ties with this housing scheme, and the name falsely implies government ownership or patronage. According to the clarification, the inclusion of a federal body’s name in the society’s title does not signify government approval or responsibility.
This clarification raises questions about the use of official department names by other housing societies across Pakistan. Observers note that such impressions can influence investment decisions.
Numerous scandals in Pakistan’s housing sector have urged the public to remain cautious. The Cabinet Division’s statement has also revived the debate on whether current laws regulate the use of names associated with government bodies.
Legal experts suggest that the use of official names can mislead the public, indicating a need for review.
