PPP rejects price hike
Islamabad: Central Information Secretary PPPP Shazia Atta Marri has said that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has rejected the recent price hikes in the petroleum products due to this inflation rate would be gone up.
She added that the high inflation rate is unprecedented during three years of PTI’s government while present government of Imran Khan is oppressing the people by inflation.
She said the Speaker of the National Assembly Asad Qaisar ordered to close the Press Gallery during the joint session of the National Assembly and claimed that the press gallery was closed after consultation with the Parliamentary Reporters Association (PRA).
She said that elected members of Parliamentary Reporters Association (PRA) denied from the statement of Speaker National Assembly and such a complete blackout is regrettable act of the incompetent Niazi’s government.
This is the first time the Parliament’s press gallery has been closed and though it was not closed even during the regimes of dictators in the country. She uttered that how it is possible that Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry was unawared about today closure of National Assembly’s press gallery for media persons, it it highly condemable act of PTI government.
She said that the government is trying to impose ban on media and freedom of speech in the country and the PPP has already rejected the PMDA.
She further said that Pakistan’s famous comedian Umar Sharif repeatedly appealed to the Prime Minister for his treatment but he did nothing for him while the Sindh government sent its representative to Umar Sharif’s house to enquire about his health.
He said the Sindh government has sanctioned Rs 40 million for his treatment from USA. Shazia Marri said a PTI’s federal minister claimed that he would burn the Election Commission of Pakistan because ECP raised its objections on the use of electronic voting machines.
“We strongly condemn such things against ECP. While talking about PDM,” she said that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari laid the foundation of PDM but contrary to Bilawal Bhutto’s wish, some parties did not want to come out openly against the government. She said PTI has become lost its senses and confused on Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s visit to South Punjab.
On this occasion, Faisal Karim Kundi said that upcoming local body election would be a taste for all political parties and current PTI government is runing away from the local body elections while the people of PML-N and PTI are joining the PPP.
He said Imran Khan wants confrontation between the institutions and production order of PPP leader Khurshid Shah and Ali Wazir were not issued in the joint session of the National Assembly.
He added that the way to get rid of the government is to remove it through a no-confidence motion. He said that we want a peaceful Afghanistan because our country’s peace is linked with the peace in Afghanistan.
