The central leadership of PPP, aware of the sensibilities of its electoral alliance with the PML-N, has been cautious in its comments on the relief of floods in Punjab. However, he has attacked the Government led by PTI in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) for its alleged failure to deal with recent floods. Information from the central secretary of the PPP Nadeem Afzal Chan and the general secretary of Punjab, Syed Hassan Murtaza, going on Friday to a press conference at the Central Secretariat of Islamabad, said the party avoided the score score. They argued that in the KP, where the PTI has been in power for 13 years, the situation of the flood had worsened due to the illegal invasions and the wood mafia. Chan said that the president of PPP, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, had visited areas affected by floods throughout the country and even praised the Punjab government during his stop in Kasur.
"Although floods have caused mass destruction in Punjab, in the KP there are problems of the wood mafia and the invasions," The PPP leaders said, demanding an investigation commission. "The incompetence of the PTI in the KP has been completely exposed."
They pointed out that Bilawal had suggested to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif that aid funds are distributed through the data of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). However, the Punjab government is distributing help goods based on favoritism, they alleged. Chan added that the PPP had presented resolutions in the Senate, the National Assembly and the four provincial assemblies, demanding the launch of Bisp relief in areas affected by floods. He complained that farmers had not received enough support. In Punjab, he said, a good job has been done, but in other places he limited himself to the appearances in Tiktok.
"The best work was done by rescue 1122. Favoritism prevails in Punjab, although the government has a digital system that must be used. Farmers are suffering and crying for help. The government must also present the case of climate change to the world."
Hassan Murtaza said that the devastation in Punjab was "indescribable." The Faisalabad division, he added, was the most affected. He pointed out that in the areas of Katcha (riverside), where cattle is the main source of livelihood, the damage was severe.
"Even today, the government is violating the dignity and privacy of farmers and peasants. Citizens themselves, through self -help, are victims of rehabilitation," said. Mutaza even praised Patwaris (Earth’s income officials), often seen negatively, saying that they had assumed most of the help work in different places. "People’s cattle have been swept, causing greater financial losses. They have been ruined due to wrong government policies."
He urged the government to "Come to your senses," Say the institutions created for floods and earthquakes must be audited. "Each year the damage occurs: why aren’t permanent measures to avoid such losses?" asked. The senior vice president of the party for the center of Punjab and the former Federal Minister of Climate Change, Rana Farooq Saeed, which comes from the outskirts of Faisalabad, said "No real relief work" It was visible in Punjab. "The PML-N government does not know the first thing about help activities," said.
