“PPP government has signed the death warrant of masses by jacking up petroleum and CNG princes,” Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Secretary Information Mushahid Ullah Khan and Media Coordinator Muhammad Mehdi said in a joint press conference held here on Sunday.
They also strongly condemned the Karachi mayhem and vowed that PML-N would make Karachi the city of lights again after coming into power.
They hailed statements of new Director General Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) for announcing to abolish its political wing.
“It is really shameful that Prime Minister Gilani claims to be descendant of Ghos Paak (Hazrat Abdul Qadir Gilani) and corruption scandals concerning his own son had come to surface,” they said.
Extending support to the protest demonstrations occurring in different parts of country, particularly in Punjab against load shedding, they said PML-N believed that they must continue and their volume should be expanded further. They said that in the prevailing situation, sheer injustice was being done with Punjab where load shedding continued for hours. They said that millions of people had become jobless due to load shedding but government was not paying any attention to this issue. They said rather than linking the increase in petroleum prices with global recession and finding other justifications, the central government should provide relief to the people of all the provinces including Punjab as well.
They also said the PML-N would decide the issue of NATO supplies according to the people’s will. They also vowed to build educational institutions, motorways, roads and industrial zones for the economic development of the province. They urged the government to give subsidy to masses on petroleum and diesel by curbing the corruption and tax defaulting in the country.
They said that the investors from all over the world would have been investing in the country if the perpetrators of spreading chaos across Karachi by shooting and burning were held accountable in the past.
