Opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz Ahmed said the Punjab government was responsible for the deaths caused by the dengue virus and a case must be registered against Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for negligence.
Talking to media at the Punjab Assembly premises on Tuesday, Raja Riaz Ahmed said the CM Punjab not only lacked a majority but he was the fake ruler of the province. He said rather than pointing fingers at the PPP government, the PML-N leadership should first mend its own ways and provide answers for the devastating dengue outbreak which had so far claimed over 150 lives.
Commenting over PML-N President Nawaz Sharif’s criticism of President Zardari, Raja Riaz said Nawaz had a history of not accepting the elected leadership of the country, including Benazir Bhutto as Prime Minister, and now Zardari as President. He said Nawaz Sharif must give a long march call against his own government in Punjab which had pushed the entire province towards chaos.
He alleged that a committee had been constituted by the Punjab government under Hamza Shahbaz which was devising protests in Punjab and police was playing the role of silent spectator. Meanwhile, PPP MPAs including Shaukat Mehmood Basra, Sajida Mir, Faiza Malik and others staged a protest against Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif and demanded his resignation.
