PML-Q leader Moonis Elahi has said that police action against students and Railways workers in Lahore are reminders of the martial law regimes of the past and the incidents have spread panic in the already harassed public.

Moonis Elahi was talking to the office-bearers of PML-Q Education Wing on phone from London on Wednesday.

Mr Moonis Elahi said the way police used kicks, fists, batons and tear gas against students and railways workers proved that Shahbaz government had turned the province into a police state.

He said that the policemen who were otherwise being discouraged from apprehending criminals because of the latter’s connections with the ruling elite had been given a free hand by the Punjab government to chase innocent students and workers and thrash them.

The PML-Q leader said the whole country witnessed the inhuman treatment of inflicted on students workers by police through the media.

He said the fact that no government high-up expressed sympathy to the injured and against the police high-handedness proved that the police action was taken at the behest of the Punjab government.

He said during Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi’s five-year tenure in the Punjab government, there was not a single such gory incident on record and his gave the youth and the workers maximum respect.

He condemned the use of state machinery against the deprived and oppressed sections of the society, saying the police action reflected the mentality of the Punjab rulers.







Indian hegemonistic designs are the root cause of all conflicts in South Asia. This was stated by Moonis Elahi, senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League in a meeting with party workers in London. He said that Indian obsession to become the regional overlord was not only the key factor behind 4 wars between Pakistan and India but also the most important reason for the start of nuclear race in South Asia.

Commenting on the induction of a nuclear submarine in the Indian navy he said that this induction will have far reaching destabilizing effects on the peace of the region. He felt that the induction of a nuclear submarine carrying nuclear warheads will not only pose a direct challenge to Pakistan but will also threaten the peace of the various small countries located along the Indian Ocean.

He urged the world powers to stop supporting India in its unbridled build up of a nuclear arsenal. He said that nuclearisation of the Indian Ocean was a direct threat to world peace.

Moonis Elahi appealed to the world powers to also take notice of the unprecedented human rights violations in held Kashmir. He strongly criticized the inhuman treatment meted out to the Kashimiri leader Mahbuba Mufti in the session of the puppet state assembly where she tried to draw the speaker’s attention towards the rape and murder of innocent Kashmiri girls at the hands of Indian troops.

He said that India could not be allowed to either unleash its nuclear designs in the Indian Ocean or defile or brutally mutilate the honor and integrity of the innocent Kashmiri people. He urged the Government of Pakistan not to let the Indian expansionist designs and the genocide of Kashmiris go unnoticed by the world powers.








Moonis Elahi, Senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League has said that Kalabagh dam can be the guarantor of Pakistan’s bright future and the coming generations will not forgive us for any further delay in its construction.

He said that Kalabagh dam is a permanent solution of the current energy crisis unlike the temporary IPPs being acquired on rental basis.

He stated that the need of the hour is a leadership that has a sound power vision and the will to rid the nation of its current gigantic problems including load shedding and acute shortage of water for agricultural, industrial and domestic consumption. He claimed that despite all odds Pakistan Muslim League was the only political party that had kept Kalabagh dam on top if its manifesto while “N” league soon after coming into power in 2008 had surreptitiously withdrawn the demand for Kalabagh dam from its agenda.

He said that “N” league’s U turn on Kalabagh dam had borne disastrous implications on the consensus building process regarding the mega project among the provinces. He reiterated that the achievement of a national consensus was imperative for the materialization of Kalabagh dam.

He said that construction of Kalabagh dam was in the best interest of the country and the current energy crisis should serve as an eye opener for the Kalabagh dam opponents. He declared that he was ready to volunteer his services for the cause and would work with all political parties, concerned groups and stake holders to build a positive consensus on the Kalabagh dam project. In this regard he said that he had even offered the present C.M. Punjab’s son Mr. Hamza Shahbaz to join hands with him in a campaign to convince smaller provinces for the realization of this all important project.

Moonis Elahi further stated that his father Ch. Perviaz Elahi as the Chief Minister of Punjab ,as part of the consensus building process had offered to withdraw Punjab’s direct share from Kalabagh dam water for irrigation purposes but ironically “N” league soon after attaining power in 2008 unilaterally dropped Kalabagh dam from its agenda thus rendering irreparable damage to the process of consensus building among provinces on the construction of the much required dam . He showed his surprise at the recent news item according to which “N” league will now push smaller provinces for the construction of the Kalabagh dam and called it a grotesque u turn.

He expressed his doubts on this change of N government’s stance and called it a mere political gimmick of Nawaz league to befool the public once again.


Moonis Elahi reemphasized the fact that 42.6 MAF of water was annually falling un-utilized in the sea and the construction of all hydral power projects including Kalabagh dam was the only course open to the nation for a sustainable and expeditious economic growth.

He made an appeal to all political parties of the country to come together in the completion of Kalabagh dam for a bright and better future of the coming generations.

Government’s un-constitutional steps have put the people and the system in disarray.

Delay in Local Governments elections will result in increased poverty and extremism.
The Prime Minister’s role is not to point out problems but to implement solutions.

Moonis Elahi, senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League has said that since February 08, various un-constitutional decisions of the Federal and Punjab governments have put the people and the system in a constant state of disarray and confusion. Local governments are the bedrock of a democratic system and the recent un-constitutional decision of an indefinite postponement of local governments elections amounts to depriving people of their fundamental democratic rights. Denying people the right to choose their local governments was a despotic move which would have highly adverse effects on the future of democracy in Pakistan. The government should withdraw this undemocratic decision in the best interest of democracy.


Moonis Elahi, said this while talking to a delegation of Muslim League leaders and workers in Lahore yesterday. He said that the Prime Minister by recently dubbing the present state of affairs in the country as a hodgepodge cannot condone himself from his basic responsibility of finding solutions to the problems.


Moonis Elahi further said that Shahbaz government was afraid to hold local governments elections in the province on account of its failure in fulfilling the promises made to the people of the province at election time. He was of the view that Shahbaz government in order to save its own skin and to avoid public embarrassment was putting the entire democratic system at stake. He pointed out at the expensive media campaign of Shahbaz government against Pakistan Muslim League Nazims and the subsequent failure of Shahbaz and his men from proving even one Nazim guilty of the so called irregularities. He said that after its unsuccessful character assassination attempts against the Nazims now the Shahbaz government in cohorts with its coalition partner in the centre had un- constitutionally decided to impose government administrators as replacements of elected Nazims. He expressed his grave concern on the constant violations by both PPP and “N” league of the country’s constitution, the charter of democracy and the promises made by Mohtarama Benazir Bhutto with the people of Pakistan.


He warned the government that the undemocratic and illegal decision of postponement of local governments elections would further intensify feelings of deprivation in the masses and encourage extremist tendencies. He said that the beauty of the local governments system was in its direct contact of Nazims and councilors with the people for resolution of their basic problems. He strongly criticized Shahbaz government’s decision of relying on unelected cronies and incompetent government servants instead of popularly elected Nazims and councilors who enjoyed the trust and confidence of the people.


He declared that Pakistan Muslim League will challenge this un-constitutional decision and demanded that the government instead of shirking its responsibility should immediately announce the election schedule for local governments as per the constitution and the demand of the people.

LAHORE: The PML-Q has termed abolishing the local government (LG) system an undemocratic and unconstitutional act, calling an effort to revive a bureaucratic set-up to insult the people and their elected representatives. PML-Q leader Chaudhry Zaheeruddin said it was unconstitutional and undemocratic to appoint administrators over institutions which already had constitutionally elected heads. staff report
