Instead of falling into the trap of opposition, the government should make its decisions with a calm heart and mind: Ch Parvez Elahi

Lahore, January 25, 2022 (PPI-OT):Qambar Hameed and Rana Khalid Mahmood called on Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Parvez Elahi in the Assembly Chamber here. Secretary Punjab Assembly Muhammad Khan Bhatti and Sawera Mir were also present in the meeting. Ch Parvez Elahi said that the strategy of the opposition against the government is always to harass the government on every small and big issue so that the government would be provoked and make wrong decisions and harm itself while the security and welfare of the government would be at stake. The Govt should not fall into the trap of the opposition and make its decisions with a calm heart and mind.

Ch Parvez Elahi said that making statements like opposition leaders while being into government not only weakens the government’s own political position but also lowers the morale of the administrative machinery. He said that the people have given a five-year mandate to the government with two and a quarter years left. If the opposition believes in democracy then it should respect this public mandate of the government and should give up negative politics based on mere chaos.

Ch Parvez Elahi said that the coalition parties of the government have always fully supported the government in every difficult time and rescued it from the clutches of the opposition, but the government should also take a deliberate approach to the coalition parties before making major decisions and not push the allies towards the opposition camp.

The Speaker Punjab Assembly said that for the development and prosperity of the country, we have to get rid of the burden of external debts, stop blaming each other and move forward together to revive the economy in the national interest to facilitate Pakistan’s prosperity journey. He said that immorality is the biggest obstacle in the way of development. It is very important to promote culture of respect, not rudeness. Respecting others is part of our culture and it should not be forgotten. If we want to achieve economic prosperity, we have to give relief to the people and fulfill the promises made to the people. With the growth of democracy, the country will be strong.

No justification for Imran Khan to remain in the government: Zulfiqar Ali Bader

Islamabad, January 25, 2022 (PPI-OT):Zulfiqar Ali Bader, the spokesperson to the Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in a statement has said that after the report of Transparency International on the rise of corruption in Pakistan, there is no justification for Imran Khan to remain in the government. Imran Khan came to power with the slogan of ending corruption but now with the increase in corruption he should go home.

Zulfiqar Ali Bader said that just yesterday Imran Khan’s advisor on accountability had resigned and now today the entire government should resign. Pakistan’s 16-point rise in corruption rankings is a slap in the face of PTI’s so-called anti-corruption rhetoric. The credit for rising from 124 to 140 position in the list of corruption, in just one year, goes to Imran Khan and his corrupt cabinet. He demanded that Imran Khan and his capitalist friends put an end to corruption in the country and stop looting national wealth.
