MULTAN: Former deputy prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League (PML) Senior Central Leader Ch Parvez Elahi questions Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shehbaz Sharif’s commitment with the people, saying that the CM has not done anything for the people, while we during our five years tenure PML worked for Punjab including Multan and southern regions.“The common man remained our preference and things will not change in future as well.”

He said that we completed many projects of public welfare, including Cardiology Hospital and Dental College in Multan whereas Rs 28 billion jangla bus in Multan has not benefitted the people; instead Shehbaz Sharif gained financial benefit.“He should have constructed hospitals, schools and colleges like us then all people would have been benefitted.”

He said this while speaking with the media at Mureed Abbas Bappi’s residence in Abbaspur. He will be addressing the Workers Convention on Sunday.

Elahi said that holding the workers convention in every district is an important step towards reorganisation of the party. He said that our work is unparalleled in Pakistan’s history. “We have great love and affection for Multan, we undertook works in South Punjab for the first time, Multan Children Hospital project was also made by us 9 years ago, Dental College was also established during our tenure, ‘Khadam-e-A’ala’ inaugurated Women Crisis Centre in Multan whereas this project also began during our tenure, he has increased the problems of people of Multan with Rs 28 billion jangla bus.

He said that the focus of our politics was welfare of common and poor man, whereas his focus is on money making. “He has done nothing for the benefit of the people.We had provided maximum employment opportunities to the people.”

Responding to a question, he said, “Whatever verdict comes in Panama case, people have spoken “chor, chor” (thief, thief) and now public eyes are on the great judgment of the superior judiciary, we pray for such a verdict which should enhance the prestige and respect of the judiciary and people should accept it.”
