Those who maltreated women should be punished: PML Women Wing

Lahore: Those who maltreated women should be arrested immediately, N-League and Tehrik-e-Insaaf should stop levelling of allegations against each other, irrespective of their belonging to any party miscreants be apprehended and given exemplary punishment through investigation police officers otherwise women belonging to all spheres of life including Pakistan Muslim League (PML) will start protest from next week.

This was stated by Organizer PML Women Wing Lahore and former MPA Amna Ulfat and other leaders while addressing a press conference at the Muslim League House here today. On this occasion, Zeba Hassan, Tamkeen Aftab, Sumera Nawaz, Mussarat Akhtar and other women leaders were also present.

They said that all parties claim protecting women’s rights but none except PML had done anything for the rights of women, Ch Shujat Hussain and Ch Parvez Elahi had given respectable status and rights to the women and ensured increased women representation in every sector as well as on all levels, women make the nation but during tenure of N-League women are being maltreated, their rights were always usurped. whether it is Model Town tragedy or public meeting in Lahore Ne-League has never respect women, this is the only party which has forced women in the province to sit in their homes despite being half of the population, Shehbaz Sharif has imposed ‘jangla bus’ and ‘malta train’ on Lahore in 8 years, he is running after these and nobody is responsible for protecting life and property of the people.

They said further that Ch Parvez Elahi had run the province like a father, every sector including women was prosperous, Ch Parvez Elahi had started Emergency Surgical Tower in Mayo Hospital, Wazirabad Cardiology Hospital, Burn Centre Jinnah Hospital and several other projects for welfare of the people but Shehbaz Sharif had closed all of these, Ch Parvez Elahi had got constructed 48 small dams in the province, these rulers cannot construct Kalabagh dam but they have not even constructed small dams.

They said if there can be accountability in the army then why not of the prime minister and his family, when women come out for securing their rights then they will thrown Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif out of corridors of power.
