These are all political strategies to gaim sympathy before the CHarity Commissioner. THe Trustees today are absolutely correct in their decisions. WHY MUST THEY ALLOT FLAT TO APPLICANTS WHO ARE NOT IN ORDER ON THE WAITING LIST?? some applicants are ranked 300 and above some have transferred their parents applicant to their name even though they are housed. It is thanks to these applicants that the really deserving are not alloted. what about the applicants who did not approach the Commissioer?? My question is - these appointed Trustees are new to their role... give them some time to work!! why is the Charity Commissioner doing all the work by the pressure of these applicants? who is he to interfere this way? this housing battle before the Charity Commissioner has already caused bad blood and we have lost a great man (RUSTOM TIRANDAZ) in the useless battle. Mr Minoo there are in all 70 vacant flats with the BPP. there are 1200 approx on the waiting list. now the 104 applicants who are ranked from 1 - 1200 approcahed the Charity Commissioner - so does that mean they should be given flats and not the others? the BPP has property to construct more houses. but needs time... let the Board work and houses will come!! please stop this fighting!

They are our Parsi brothers and sisters we are talking about. If the BPP has the houses why does it not give it to these people? They are our Parsi brothers and sisters we are talking about.

Our forefathers have set up trusts to help the poor and the needy. Many of these great men led very simple lives so as to help the Parsi community. Unfortunately, today many Parsis who are reasonably wealthy, still approach the Trusts for a free house and other monetary assistance. If the present BPP has been accused of turning away needy Parsis, in the past the BPP has been accused of alloting houses in an arbitrary manner. It is imperative to have a transperant & fair process while dealing with the housing issue. We must be the only community in India who are entitled to free housing !

Dadar Parsee Colony is singularly responsible for the current state of affairs in BPP. If we talk about UA Franchise, we should also have geographic constituencies. There are 3 Trustees from DPC.There is under representation of South Bombay. These Akabars had promosed to wipe of tears from the eyes of Parsees as eletion promise. They talked about disclosing their asstets/liabilities. How many months have we to wait for such disclosures? The great Amdavadi. whose FPJ goes to garbage boxes every fortnight, does not remember this promise.
