TANDO ADAM KHAN: PML-N head Mian Nawaz Sharif has said that he was
visiting flooded cities, towns and villages of Sindh to serve and
provide relief to the masses.
Addressing a crowded press
conference in Tehsil Jam Ali at Jam House, he said that recent monsoon
had brought extreme destruction, and required full-fledged relief on
emergency basis. He cited millions sufferers and perished livestock
littering the landscape, causing endemics, widespread bad smell; while
mixing of sewerage water with flood water has given rise to flux of
mosquitoes, which alongwith scarcity of potable water was playing havoc
with lives and health of masses.
He berated government’s
failure to carry out such simple tasks like removal of animal
carcasses, and carrying out sanitation related tasks.
Citing
the current situation as analogous to that of during Independence days,
he urged government to provide Rs100, 000 each to flood affectees, and
PM could also use his discretionary funds to ensure relief to flood
affectees. He reminded that the only stakeholders of Pakistan were the
masses themselves, and berated the fact that all wealth was being
converged to a few families.
He said that keeping in view the
needs of masses, PML-N strived to distribute food, tents, ration and
drugs among flood victims, and groups of PML-N activists had been
deployed in various zones.
Referring to the Karachi situation,
he said that only a strong accountability could bring relief to crime
and terrorism torn City, as while the criminals are fully exposed,
there should be no restraints in any action against them.
