Police brutality in Punjab: Opp leader demands CM’s resignation LAHORE: Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Zaheeruddin on Friday demanded Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shahbaz Sharif to resign from office over the ‘brutal’ police torture of citizens across the province.
Zaheer, while addressing a press conference at the Opposition Leader’s Chamber at Punjab Assembly premises, demanded Shahbaz to apologise to the people of Punjab for his ‘negligence and bad governance’. He also demanded that the Punjab Assembly be called into session over the law and order situation of the province.
Zaheer said police stations in Punjab had become the “nursery of crimes” and the province had become a hub of “inhumane activities” under the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz-led government. He said human right violations had increased manifold in the province due to the government’s ‘loose grip’ over administrative matters. The opposition leader also urged the CM to take action against PML-N Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Shahid Bhatti who was present at the scene when police officers tortured some citizens in Chiniot.
Zaheer also alleged that all PML-N members were involved in different crimes and some of them had already been exposed in electricity and credit card scams. Shahbaz should “recheck” his party members’ political-cum-ethical credibility, he added.
Talking about Law Minister Rana Sanaullah’s illegal plaza, he said he was not satisfied with the report of the technical committee constituted by the government on the matter. Zaheer said he had also issued written orders to the committee to find out the facts and directed it to report to him without further delay. staff report

Plea depicts N's League defeatist mentality: Moonis Elahi

Court amounts to denying the people their constitutional right to vote and reflects a defeatist mentality. This was stated by senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League Moonis Elahi while talking to a delegation of PML workers belonging to NA 123. He said the plea that the law and order situation in Punjab was not conducive for the holding of by-election was in effect Shahbaz Government’s admission of failure to restore order in the province along with its failures on all other fronts. He said that this plea was moved considering the waning popularity graph of N League and it once again revealed the anti democratic designs of the N League leadership as they could not accept defeat in the face of growing criticism against their government’s poor performance record in Punjab since 2008.
Moonis Elahi said that postponing election in Lahore from where the Sharifs had won in the past was another proof of the fast decline in their popular support. He reiterated PML’s resolve to become party to the case in LHC and fight a legal battle to protect voters’ rights along side other democratic forces and not let the minority government of Shahbaz Sharif repeatedly sabotage democracy and election process in the province. He strongly criticized Shahbaz Government for moving the court for postponement of election in two National Assembly and as many Punjab Assembly constituencies and warned that the said plea could have far reaching adverse implications on country’s politics and render an irreparable blow to the image of Pakistan in the world. He said that the N League due to its anti democratic norms was responsible for the derailment of democracy in the past and by attempting to stall the election process in the four constituencies it was once again committing the same crime and it was evident that the N League leadership had learnt nothing from past mistakes.
Moonis Elahi was also extremely critical of the recent decision of Punjab Government of distribution of flour to appointed tandoors through a courier company. He said that hiring of a courier company for this purpose was beyond comprehension as there were government departments and staff available to perform the same task without any burden on the treasury.
