Siddiqui asked that is this the time to play politics or help the effected masses?

Siddiqui also said that the original UC representatives carry all the required and necessary information of their areas whereas the people distributing relief goods know nothing of the proximity.

The politician also said that UC representatives know each and everyone in their jurisdiction and have head counts of all the residents and how many family members reside in each house whereas the government imposed figures carrying out the distribution are absolutely unaware.
