Addressing a Jeevay Pakistan Jeevay Muqami Hakumat (JPJM) rally with ex-local government representatives and common folk, Daniyal Aziz promised to launch a struggle against inflation and unemployment after Muharram.
He said those in parliament were not sympathetic to the problems of people. He said local government was the way to develop around the world but in Pakistan bureaucracy had failed the nation for 60 years by ruling in the name of democracy.
He said local government funds were being illegally utilized by provincial governments and local government polls were being delayed in violation of Article 140A of the Constitution. He said Local Council Associations have filed 27 cases over the last 2 years in the Supreme Court of Pakistan and High Courts to restore Local Governments and against the appointment of administrator instead of Nazims but no progress was seen in courts. He said the suspension of the Police Order 2002 had made Public Safety Commissions non-functional and incidences of police harassing people had increased.
