  1. Recent reports about the recurrence of the dengue virus in Lahore and at some other places are a matter of grave concern. It is once again gaining momentum and Punjab Govt seems failing to condone it once again. We can’t pin it on federal government, when this is happening only in Punjab. Healthcare was never his priority. While he and his brother go to London for medical treatment, his government allocated virtually nothing for health and education. He has proved himself the most incompetent and dishonest chief minister not only of Punjab but in the history of Pakistan. Despite all the shortcomings of Pervaiz Ellahi, we have to admit that he was a better administrator, and in politics never went to the extent of abusing his political opponents. What a shameful state of affairs. Who is the health minister with a heart so not to resign over his utter negligence over first the shameful dengue fever deaths and now this totally shameful fiasco?
