Punjab Chief minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that President Asif Zardari has no affection with the people of Pakistan and Punjab and the prime minister cannot do anything regarding present power crisis.
Talking to reporters after attending Open Court in Lahore, Shahbaz Sharif said power energy crisis had taken its toll on public and Punjab was suffering the most from the crisis and no remedial measures were being taken.
He said the promise of uniform load shedding by former prime minister had not been fulfilled and nothing good could be expected from the current PM either.
CM said due to flawed policies of federal government people were compelled to protest. Shahbaz also directed the concerned departments to stay alert to deal with any emergency in case of possible flood threat during upcoming monsoon season. Officials of the concerned departments attended the meeting.
Shahbaz said that in consultation with the international aid organisations, a plan would be chalked out for building warehouses to facilitate the flood victims.
He also directed the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) to stock 15,000 blankets and hand over 100 boats to Rescue 1122 to deal with any emergency in monsoon season.
The CM also constituted as a three-member committee to examine the embankments, flow of water in rivers and population nearby which possibly could be affected due to floods.
Shahbaz also officially launched the campaign for the holding Punjab Sports and Youth Festival 2012 from his camp office at Minar-i-Pakistan.
He flagged off various floats which will travel through different part of the province to highlight the theme of Punjab sports festival and to inspire them to be a part of this mega event.
A large gathering of sports personalities including former hockey Olympian Manzoor Junior, Shahnaz Sheikh, Mohammad Saqlain, Mansoor Ahmed and players from different disciplines namely Arif Karim Saif, Amer Atlas and Karin Khan witnessed the launching ceremony which was also attended by scores of young athletes and officials of the organising committee. Deputy Speaker Rana Mashhood, chairman of the organising committee and Director General Sports Punjab Usman Anwar were also present on the occasion.
The CM, who himself was attired in an official track suit to be worn by the participants of the Youth Festival, vowed to make the sports festival a big successful by engaging the youth and with the exhibition of their talent and skills.
“Our youth is our future and it is imperative to create healthy and positive activities for them so that they could contribute in building a prosperous Pakistan”, he asserted.
