PPP Central Information Secretary, Nadeem Afzal Chan, accompanied by Member of the National Assembly Syed Agha Rafiullah, said in a press conference that Punjab belongs to everyone. “Our family has been in Punjab’s politics since 1926. The Pakistan Peoples Party was founded in Punjab, so don’t play the Punjabi card,” he said. Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is our sister; we voted for her and elected her.
Nadeem Afzal Chan said that using ethnic politics over water and resources is the language of Modi. “Pakistan belongs to everyone, water, electricity, gold, and gas belong to all. Contribute to eradicating poverty; that is the real service. Right now, the need is the rehabilitation of the flood victims.”
He said that the PPP is united in the National Assembly and there is no division. Repeated questions were not answered; instead, blame games were started. When ministers behave this way, one can understand job pressure, but when leadership does it, that is unfair.
Report highlights the start of the crushing season. Our demand is that farmers’ wheat must not be held captive, Chan said. He said that in Punjab, only two or four bureaucrats are running the government. We want the government to be run through the people’s representatives and not the bureaucrats.
Nadeem Afzal Chan said that do not play the Punjab card and do not use Modi’s language who says that this is ‘our’ water. Such talk breaks provinces apart. Pakistan belongs to everyone. The gold of Balochistan and the ports of Sindh belong to all of us, and to all of Pakistan. We also contributed to the votes that elected the Punjab Chief Minister. You will have to answer; the PPP will fight the case of the people of Punjab.
He further said that the PML-N has an agreement with the PPP that you will hold elections for local government in Punjab. If you do not like the picture of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, at least provide relief to the flood victims without any further delay.
