Justice is being denied instead of abolishing the “thana culture” in Punjab: Ch Sarwar

Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Punjab Organiser Chaudhary Mohammad Sarwar has said justice is being denied instead of abolishing the “thana culture” in Punjab and added that excesses and injustice was posing a serious threat for the country.

He said people should not pin any hopes with the rulers as they themselves were busy in politics of fraud and hypocracy. He observed that the rulers had converted Punjab into a police state and people fear police instead of seeing them as their protectors. He said no society could progress without dispensing justice to its citizens. He said all political parties must unite and and fight for the rights of masses.

He also said that delay in local body elections would tantamount to denying people’s their basic rights.  Chaudhary Sarwar was speaking to a delegation led by PTI’s Zulfiqar Bhinder, Muhammad Shahbaz Mukhtar and Madiha Waqas at his office on Wednesday.

He said Pakistan did not belong to an individual or a party but every Pakistani and they all should play their roles for its welfare and progress. He said the rulers in Punjab were raising slogans of changing the “thana culture”, but they had eliminated justice from the society and people dread from going to police stations.

He said PTI had also advocated justice for everybody but regrettably only rich people get `justice’ that suits them. On the other hand, he said, common people continue to run from pillar to post to get due justice and eventually die. He said that people were facing serious problems while resolving their problems at local level and the solution lied in holding local body elections. He said rulers should also help masses by holding local body elections.

Chaudhary Sarwar said the PTI was fighting a war of dispensing justice at earliest to masses so that the society and the country could progress and prosper.
