“hungry lion” is squeezing poor masses’ blood through price-hike: Ch Sarwar

Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Punjab Organiser Chaudhary Muhammad Sarwar has said the rulers’ “hungry lion” is squeezing poor masses’ blood through price-hike. He said Punjab had won the “first position” in “bad governance” across Pakistan as it is being governed by the jungle law, where nobody’s life, property and honour is protected. He demanded that the government should constitute a judicial inquiry into the children’s molestation scandal.

Chaudhary Sarwar said the PTI was coming out on roads and observing sit-ins for people’s rights and demanding that the Election Commission of Pakistan should ensure free and fair election process. He said the rulers would have to leave the corridors of power, if the PTI again came on roads.

Chaudhary Sarwar demanded that the government should immediately withdraw increase in power tariff otherwise the PTI would be compelled to stage protest demonstrations, while speaking to a delegation led by party’s central member Ashraf Sohna at his office on Sunday.

He said the rulers were crying hoarse about its good governance but the child molestation scandal continuing for the past many years had sealed the rulers’ failures and bad governance. He regretted that there was no rule of law in Punjab but the jungle law, where police was protecting the rulers instead of masses’ lives and property.

He said the PML-N’s “hungry lion” was making life attempts on poor masses through increasing prices of electricity and other daily use items. “This shows that the government’s agenda was wiping out poor instead of alleviating poverty,” he commented.

Chaudhary Sarwar said the PTI was doing politics of public welfare that lead to progress and prosperity of the country. He said the PTI had earlier come out on roads against electoral rigging and party chief Imran Khan was right in saying that the party would again come out on roads, if the Election Commission of Pakistan did not remove party’s apprehensions in the light of Judicial Commission decision.

He said the rulers should know that its rules would be wrapped, if the PTI would be compelled to come out on roads. He said the PTI would try all options including protests on roads for the dispensation of justice to all aggrieved. He said the PTI would continue to fight for the rights of people and eventually win.
