Its undoubtedly strange that a minister would grab a piece of land and put a fence around it, usually taken as a sign to keep people out, and say it was open to the public. The federal minister stated he needs the park for security reasons, or in other words to keep people out; yet he stated that people were allowed to enter as they please. Contradiction maybe?
Federal Minister for Environment Hameedullah Jan Afridi has added a public park to his Islamabad Sector F estate. The Rs90 million, 10 kanal park was taken from the Capital Development Authority citing security threats to the minister's family. The chairman of the Capital Development Authority concurred with Mr. Afridi, and also added that the minister had provided Rs1 million for the development of the park; which included stream pipes and a perimeter fence. Both the minister and the CDA rejected the notion that the park was closed to the public. So should it be assumed that the fence is to keep out robots?
