President Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) Sindh Shah Muhammad Shah Wednesday said the creation of Southern Punjab Province would open a Pandora box and create unrest in the country.
HYDERABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Apr, 2018 ) :President Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) Sindh Shah Muhammad Shah Wednesday said the creation of Southern Punjab Province would open a Pandora box and create unrest in the country.
The demand in that regard was aimed at creating misunderstandings among the masses, he said in an interview with APP. Shah Muhammad alleged that the tribal heads of Southern Punjab were beneficiaries of Turkhan and British rulers, who always made it to the parliament with the support of area people, but did nothing for them except usurping their rights.
He said the demand for the Southern Punjab Province was a ploy by the tribal leaders to fool the people to win next general election. The so-called elected representatives were exploiting the sentiments of people for their personal goals, he added.
Shah Muhammad said before the present PML-N government, a Seraiki speaking Sindhi and a resident of Southern Punjab held the posts of president and prime minister respectively, but they did nothing for the socio-economic development of the area.
He said the PML-N government had initiated a number of projects in Southern Punjab, which after completion would change the destiny of the area. Those development works had created fears among the so-called elected representatives of the area, who started making demand for a separate province, he added.
Commenting on the situation in Balochistan, Shah Muhammad said it was the PML-N leadership, which had improved the situation in the province. After 2013 general election, he said, the PML-N was in a position to form government in the province, but the then Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had decided to remove the sense of deprivation of the people and provided an opportunity to Dr Abdul Malik Baloch to form provincial cabinet.
He said when Nawaz Sharif assumed the office of prime minister, the country was facing internal and external threats.
Under his dynamic leadership, the PML-N government overcame the gigantic challenges of terrorism, economy and power load-shedding The PML-N Sindh leader said launching of CPEC was the great achievement of the government as the completion of projects under it would change the destiny of the country and its people.
He said the party had earned popularity, particularly its leader Nawaz Sharif, because of its governmet's people's welfare oriented policies, which would result into its win in the general election with big majority.
He dispelled the impression that the PML-N government had not carried out any development work in Singh. Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, he said, had initiated series of mega development projects, including K-4, Green Bus Route, Thar Coal Project and Motorway-9 in the province, which were now near completion.
The restoration of law and order in Sindh, particularly in Karachi, was another great achievement of the PML-N government, he added. The bad governance of the provincial PPP government, he said, had created disappointment among the people of Sindh, who were now looking towards the PML-N leadership.
The provincial chapter of the party was now fully active and after the visits of PML-N President and Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, the PML-N was gaining popularity in the province, he added.
He said at present, the PML-N was not part of any political alliance in the province, however, in future the political understanding with seat adjustments could not be ruled out He said the both Federal and provincial caretaker governments should be formed in accordance with the constitution and the general election should he conducted in a free, fair and impartial manner.
