LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif has demanded of the government to probe the allegations of $49.5 million commission in the purchase of French submarines during the PPP government in 1994, and bring to light the names of those political, civil and military officials who misappropriated the hard-earned money of people. He also demanded strict action against the culprits.
He was addressing a gathering of PML-N leaders and workers from Faisalabad at his Raiwind residence here on Friday. The meeting was attended by Chaudhry Sher Ali and Rana Sana Ullah, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Rafiq Tarar and other PML-N parliamentarians.
Nawaz said it was very painful for him that people were suffering because of unemployment, price-hike, poverty, lack of health and education facilities while a handful of people had received kickbacks of Rs 4 billion in just one deal. He said the poor were craving for basic facilities, and the privileged class was plundering the national wealth. He said the national wealth had been plundered on the one hand while the people who committed heinous crimes like abrogating the Constitution and changing loyalties were given guard of honour instead of punishment.
He said the government should honourably complete its five-year tenure. He said the PML-N wanted transfer of power in accordance with the law and Constitution. He claimed the PML-N was showing complete patience just to protect the system and the government should also perform its responsibility of establishing good governance for solidarity of democracy and country.
He also appreciated the sacrifices of people of Faisalabad and stated that people should perform their duties to force the administrative machinery to continue treading on right path.
End.
