Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has rejected corruption allegations against Sindh's flood-housing programme and invited an international audit of the project, as the province marked the completion of one million homes for flood-affected families. Speaking at a ceremony in Karachi on Tuesday, 10 November, Bilawal said opponents had accused the PPP of raising funds for the housing scheme to misappropriate money, and he urged Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah to write to international organisations and invite them to audit it. "I can confidently say that no corruption has taken place in this project," he said, according to [Native World News](http://nativeworldnews.com/article/8e78bf98ecebf7fc). ## One million homes, with ownership for women Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said on Monday that one million homes had been completed under the Sindh Peoples Housing Programme, with a target of 2.1 million in total, [Collector](https://www.collector.com.tr/1026584481) reported, citing 24 News HD. Bilawal described the scheme as the world's largest housing project and said families had been given permanent homes with ownership rights, with houses registered in women's names. He said the World Bank had expressed confidence in the provincial government and released funds for the project, and contrasted Sindh's progress with Balochistan, where he said only 30,000 houses had been built over three years. ## A call for unity, not confrontation Bilawal used the occasion to press the federal government to choose reconciliation over confrontation, saying political parties should work together instead of fighting one another. He urged the prime minister to take coalition partners into confidence first and to engage the opposition through dialogue, arguing that public relief would remain impossible otherwise. The PPP supports the ruling coalition at the Centre without being part of the federal government.
