Punjab govt flayed for section 144
PROVINCIAL leader of PML-Q Chaudhry Moonis Elahi has said the promulgation of section 144 in Punjab to forcibly prevent shops and businesses from operating after 8 pm was another extremely unpopular step taken by the PML-N government.
In a meeting with important office-bearers of party, he said Punjab’s peace loving shopkeepers and traders were being treated as terrorists in N League’s rule, said a press release issued on Tuesday. He said the chief minister has flown off to London to avoid public flaying over his government’s anti-people policies and decisions, he said. In the meeting Moonis Elahi strongly criticised the enforcement of section 144 on Punjab’s business community and warned the N League government of consequences of its anti-trade decisions.
He assured PML-Q’s unflinching support for the suffering shopkeepers and traders of the province and resolved to leave no stone unturned for protection of their rights and interests. Moonis Elahi blamed N League as the sole architect of the ongoing power crisis in Punjab. He also blamed N League for the current financial debacle of Punjab and alleged that after emptying the provincial coffers through mismanagement and misappropriation, N League was now working to destroy the province’s private enterprises by enforcing on them a section of the law, which was otherwise only meant to control terrorists and rioters. Moonis Elahi declared that N League’s antagonistic policies and anti-trade decisions had opened the business community’s eyes and the business community now fully understood the selfish motives of N League’s leadership.
