Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said that the Sindh government has been worried for three days about why the Punjab government has provided relief to the public in their electricity bills.
In a statement issued in response to a news conference of Sindh Minister Saeed Ghani, she said the Sindh government should not be envious. Instead, it should have the courage to provide relief to the people of Sindh, she added.
The Punjab information minister said Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz had provided relief to her people from her province's funds.
It is disheartening that a party claiming to be a party of the people is issuing statements against public relief, the minister remarked. She said the chief minister cared about the people of the province.
It is surprising to see pointless politics over a public relief initiative,
she said.
The information minister said PML-N President Nawaz Sharif had always spoken for the people. She said ministers and spokespersons of a party claiming to be of the people had been issuing statements against public relief for three days.
"If you claim to represent the people, why are you hesitant to provide relief to them?" she asked.
