Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Qamar Zaman Kaira on Monday said Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif wanted to run government affairs under a “Rangeela Raj” and held 22 ministries himself which was a contradiction to his tall claims of good governance and a democratic culture in the province.
“One can see monarchy instead of a real democratic system in the province for how can a single person hold so many ministries,” he said questioning Sharif’s governance of the province during inauguration of a Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) secretariat in Khushab. PPP candidate for constituency NA 69 Amna Malik and a large number of party workers were present at the occasion. The minister said PPP opponents accused the government of causing inflation, unemployment and terrorism in the country but remained oblivious to landmark achievements of the PPP-led government on social, economic and diplomatic fronts. He said the country was in a much better position from multiple angles in comparison to the situation in 2008, the year PPP came into power, when terrorists had occupied the Swat valley and there were rumours that they would soon advance towards the federal capital. “We not only flushed them out from Swat but also maintained peace in the area in the aftermath of the operation,” he added.
Commenting on the PML-N victory in the by-elections, Kaira said the PML-N leadership was mistaken in considering their success as a political revival because massive rigging was committed during the polls. Evidence of rigging and use of government resources in the by-polls would soon be handed over to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the minister stated. Kaira claimed that only one seat was actually won by PML-N in the area whereas the other constituency was won through manipulation and rigging. “We always believe in politics of principles and do not indulge in fraud and deception,” he said. The PPP, he said, could not compete with PML-N in fraud for it was firm believer in getting votes through serving the masses.

  1. SHABAZ SHARIF BROTHER OF NAWAZ SHARIF IS NOT RANGEELA !!! SHABAZ IS LOUDMOUTH FOULMOUTH INCOMPETENT CORRUPT POLITICAL GOONDAA BUT PPP SHALL STILL LOSE VERY HEAVILY IN MAY 2013 ELECTIONS … ORDERS OF USA CIA AND CIA OWNED COMPANY CALLED ISI.. PPP HAS GOOD PEOPLE IN IT BUT ZARDARI IS ALL TALK TALK .. PITY !!!!

  2. The sasti roti debacle, the dengue issue, the F.sc marks issue, poor law and order, growing resentment in Southern Punjab, not a single megawatt energy made in Punjab, lower growth rate then the rest of the country, worst health crises such as fake medicine and rats biting children, fake police encounters, investing in useless projects, a province that is indebted by almost billions to the state bank, keeping 18 ministries to himself and not appearing in the provincial assembly. This is how I sum up his administration!!!!

  3. I greatly admire the citizen’s feedback programme. However, this is yet again a case of Shahbaz Sharif making some noising on important issues, but doing nothing concrete. What has he done against corrupt police, administration, income tax officials in the province? For example, the brilliant initiative of a forensics lab in Lahore led to corruption amounting to four times the actual cost of the lab! The investigation was done, but what step has been taken on this ‘feedback’? Why are Shahbaz Sharif’s admirers quiet about his full-fledged support for fudging crime statistics by not registering FIRs, and his support for fake encounters, i.e. the cold-blooded murder of the accused by the police? He has himself engaged and supported others engaged in major corruption. Let’s support him when he is right, but demand greater accountability not just for the lower-ranked bureaucrats, but the powerful as well.
