Pervaiz Elahi asks PML-N to give up policy of furthering personal interests.

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has said that instead of giving threats of long marches the PML-N-led government in Punjab should tell the people what it has done to tackle inflation and banish unemployment from the province.

He said Nawaz Sharif, instead of trying to reform others, should first concentrate on reforming his younger brother. The PML-N should quit its policy of furthering personal interests at the expense of the poor people of Punjab.

“The recent increase in prices of diesel, fertilizer and pesticides has broken the farmers’ back,” said Elahi while addressing a well-attended meeting of the PML-Q Okara office-bearers and workers assembled at the Muslim League House, Lahore.

He said that the N-League could not deceive the people of Punjab with its false claims of good performance. He advised Punjab’s ruling party to give up what he called “selfish policies” and work for the betterment of the people of Punjab.

He praised the party leaders and workers who he said had stood firm against the Punjab government’s vindictive policies and called them the party’s true asset. Elahi urged the meeting participants to employ all their abilities for further strengthening the party’s roots in the masses.

He asserted that the “poor performance” of PML-N’s Punjab government was no match for the “sterling performance” of the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid government from 2002 to 2007.

The meeting ended with a condolence prayer for the late former federal minister Rao Sikandar Iqbal. Online
