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.

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 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.

N League-PPP coalition brought country to verge of collapse: Moonis Elahi

Narowal: The N League-PPP coalition has wrecked the country. Those conspiring with their foreign masters in a plot to compromise Pakistan’s sovereignty and sell off the country’s vital interests in exchange for dollars will soon meet their fate. This was stated by senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League, Moonis Elahi yesterday in Narowal while addressing a huge turn out of PML workers and supporters at Pakistan Muslim League Workers’ Convention. We will stand with the nation against enemy’s attempts at weakening Pakistan and together we shall frustrate all enemy conspiracies, Moonis Elahi declared.

Earlier, Moonis Elahi was accorded a very warm reception on his arrival at Narowal. Accompanying Moonis Elahi was PML Secretary General and Punjab Assembly Opposition Leader Ch. Zaheer ud din.

Moonis Elahi was received at the city entrance by President of Pakistan Muslim League, district Narowal Ch. Kizer Virk, Col (r) Abbas Chaudhry MPA, former District Nazim Narowal, Col. Jawed Kalhun, General Secretary PML Narowal Tauqir Aslam, Mukhtar Hussain Shah, Hafiz Riawan and other prominent party leaders. His carcade was escorted to the convention venue by hundreds of party supporters and PML Youth Wing workers on motorbikes and other vehicles.

Moonis Elahi was given a rousing welcome when he arrived at the venue. The speakers at the convention were unanimous in their condemnation of Punjab government’s failure in solving the problems of the people. The speakers also criticized Punjab government’s criminal indifference to the issues of Narowal rice farmers and hinted at an estimated loss of 5 billion rupees worth of rice crop only in district Narowal this year. Patronage by government and local administration to proclaimed offenders was pointed out as the biggest reason for rising crimes in the district by the speakers.

In his speech, Moonis Elahi lauded the army for supporting the people in their rejection of Kerry-Lugar Bill and blamed the ruling coalition of N League and PPP as solely responsible for the existing deplorable condition of the country.

He accused N League for willfully misguiding the nation at election time by making the false promise of bringing prices of all food items back to the 1999 position. He remarked that the government of N League in Punjab had miserably failed to keep the prices at the 2007 level let alone their bogus election promise of reviving the 1999 prices.

Moonis Elahi strongly condemned the present ruling clique for its deliberate failure in controlling the prices of flour and sugar. He pointed out that the hypocritical top leadership of N League owned major sugar mills and alleged that in cohorts with the sugar mafia N League was fully responsible for fleecing the poor.

He quoted the statement made on television by the official spokesman of Mian Nawaz saying that the daily expense of N League’s leader was Rs. 3.5 million. Moonis Elahi said that in a country where poor were getting poorer this extravagance was unforgivable.

Moonis Elahi criticized the N League government for deliberately slowing down the completion of DHQ Hospital, Narowal because this project was initiated by the former government.

Commenting on the sad plight of district Narowal’s rice growers, Moonis Elahi reminded the gathering that during Ch. Pervaiz Elahi’s government the farmers of Punjab were prospering and there was no food crisis during his five years. He said the farmers were selling rice at Rs. 1000 per maund whereas a fertilizer bag was available for Rs.500 only in Pervaiz Elahi’s time, but now it was the other way round. He pledged his complete support to the farming community and assured that the issues of district Narowal will be raised by PML in the assembly and at other forums.

In his address Moonis Elahi expressed serious concern over the pathetic law and order situation prevalent in district Narowal and held the Punjab government fully responsible for this criminal mess. He condemned the N government, local police and administration for openly patronizing criminals and for appointing proclaimed offenders and law absconders as coordinators in district Narowal. He sympathized with the unfortunate victims of various crimes in the district in recent months and urged the people to rise against injustice. He also warned Narowal police to desist from framing PML workers in false cases.

Moonis Elahi praised Narowal party workers and supporters for their unflinching trust in the party leadership despite victimization and persecution at the hands of N League government. Moonis Elahi declared that the day was fast approaching when the people responsible for destroying the province’s economy and peace in the last two years will be brought to book.
