* Flays PML-N chief, says PPP always fought dictators
KARACHI: The Sindh Information Minister, Shazia Marri, here Saturday criticised the speech of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif in his rally in Larkana and said the allegations leveled by him on ruling Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) were baseless.
Addressing a press conference at the Sindh Secretariat auditorium, she said the present government believed in serving people and it was its first priority. She said her party fought dictatorship and termed the military dictator a traitor, while the PML-N leaders bowed before the dictator and fled from the country.
She said, “It is wrong to say that the present government had not taken steps for facilitating flood survivors.” Marri said the government was still working for their rehabilitation. The minister charged that Nawaz Sharif distributed relief goods in Sindh on ‘political basis’.
Provincial minister Haji Muzaffar Shujra said presently about 25,000 flood survivors were in makeshift camps, while about 10 million displaced people had returned to their homes. He said the government fully assisted these people and rehabilitation work was still in full swing.
Marri said: “Nawaz Sharif has come to Sindh as a guest and he should stay here as a guest because Sindh is a land of Sufis which gives respect to its guests.
She said the leaders of PML-N Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif should clarify their statement about the issue of Kalabagh Dam.”
She said leaders and workers of Pakistan People’s Party had given sacrifices of their lives for restoration of democracy and they were struggling to save the democracy.
Marri said no activist of her party tendered a written apology to a dictator and the party workers were hardcore companions of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and they would foil all attempts against democracy.
She said we are pursuing the vision of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and striving to bring an industrial revolution in the country. She said that they had distributed land among the 70,000 poor farmers and making all out efforts for the rehabilitation of flood victims. ppi/app
