Every new born child in Punjab is under debt of lakhs of rupees due to faulty policies of N League: Moonis Elahi

Lahore (November 05, 2012) Pakistan Muslim League central leader and MPA Moonis Elahi has said that because of faulty policies N-League every new born child in Punjab is under debt of lakhs of rupees, N-League has destroyed prosperous Punjab, banks and Shahbaz Sharif who has wasted billions of rupees on flop schemes should now be ready to be accountable to the people.

He said this while addressing the Workers Convention in Shakkargarh district Narowal today. The Convention was also addressed by Peoples Party MNA Tariq Anees, PML MPA Col (Retd) Muhammad Abbas, former MPAs Ch Karamat Ali and Ch Yaqoob and former Nazim Abid Dhillon.

Moonis Elahi said that in 2002, in view of importance of Narowal, we had completed development works worth five billion rupees during our five years period whereas Sharif Brothers have spent less than one billion of rupees during their previous and present era together for the development of this district. He said we had constructed 70 kilometers long pukka water courses in Narowal, improved irrigation system, checked water theft, provided lazer land levelers at the Union Councils levels and on top of everything else, remitted Abiana of the small farmers. He said that we had got loans for the farmers of Punjab from banks on easy terms only at 5 per cent markup and had exempted the cultivators of twelve and half acres of land from Agriculture Tax

Continuing Moonis Elahi said that during our tenure we had achieved very clear success in every field including education, health, agriculture, roads, industry, law and order in order to turn Punjab into a real welfare province. He said in order to turned Punjab into a bankrupt province has started flop schemes like Sasti Roti Scheme, Langar Scheme, Food Stamp Scheme, Yellow Cab Scheme, Ashiana Housing Scheme, Daanish Schools, Lap Tops, Green Tractors Scheme and now have started Metro Bus in Lahore also thus snatching every loaf of bread from the mouths of the people of Punjab. He said because of this, even the State Bank of Pakistan has been forced to say that because of faulty policies of N-League every new child in Punjab is under debt of lakhs of rupees.

Moonis Elahi said further that we had provided jobs to lakhs of people in the province during our tenure whereas during the rule of N-League as many as 1.5 crore people have been rendered unemployed, during our tenure 90 lakh people crossed the poverty line and moved up and in N-League period 2. 5 crore people have gone below the poverty line, nobody's honour is safe today, crime rate is increasing rapidly, innocent people are being implicated in false cases and made victims of fake encounters, Pakistan Muslim League leaders and workers are also being harassed and false cases being registered against them whereas on the other hand the real culprits are roaming free and flying in helicopters

Moonis Elahi asked the gathering whether today's Punjab is better or of the tenure of Ch Parvez Elahi was better. He said that we had taken steps to eliminate poverty whereas N-League is busy in eliminating the poor instead of poverty. He said Insha-Allah on coming power we would take steps for ensuring marked improvement not only in Narowal but also in every constituency of the Punjab.

Peoples Party MNA Tariq Anees welcomed Moonis Elahi on visiting Shakkargarh and said that after winning the bye-elections we would present MPA's seat as a gift to Moonis Elahi. He said that alliance between the Peoples Party Pakistan Muslim League have made the opponents sleepless.

PML MPA Col (R) Muhammad Abbas welcomed Chief Minister of 2013 Moonis Elahi to the Workers Convention and said that we would move step in step with Moonis Elahi who is carrying forward manifesto of Ch Parvez Elahi. He said Ch Parvez Elahi during his tenure as the Chief Minister had provided funds of billions of rupees and this is the reason that Pakistan Muslim League is popular in the Punjab even today like in the past. He said prior to entering into alliance with the Peoples Party, Ch Shujat Hussain and Ch Parvez Elahi had taken all their parliamentarians into confidence. He asked the N-League to stop doing politics of rigging and said that we would not allow rigging of any sort in Narowal bye-elections.
