SANGLA HILL
A PML-Q district leader said that the present rulers were responsible for sky-rocketing prices of daily-use items, unemployment and lawlessness.
Addressing a party meeting at Nankana Sahib, District Senior Vice-President Muhammad Suhaib Saroya said that the rulers had given nothing but disappointment to the people of Punjab during the last five and half years. They are afraid of present situation and avoiding transfer of power to the local bodies representatives by delaying elections. In these elections, he said, the PML-N will face defeat due to its bad governance, he said.
He said that PML-Q leader Parvez Elahi during his tenure as chief minister had exempted five-marla houses and twelve and half acres of agriculture lands from taxes, made education free up to Matric, provided free medicines at govt hospitals and launched Rescue 1122 system. However, he added, Sharif brothers have again imposed tax on houses and agri lands.
