Pakistan Muslim League-Q central leader Moonis Elahi Wednesday said that at a time when the poor cannot even afford two square meals a day, Punjab's N-League government in stark contradiction to its bogus claims of austerity has decided to add 28 more VIP cars worth Rs 310 million to the Chief Minister's fleet.
While addressing a meeting of his party workers here Wednesday, Moonis said the bullet-proof cars bought by the previous regime were never auctioned contrary to announcements and are still in active personal service of Punjab's ruling family. About 28 new VIP cars are being acquired by further over-burdening the already depleted financial resources of Punjab, he added.
Lashing out at the decision of adding 28 more VIP cars to Punjab CM's fleet, Moonis said that in the current extremely trying financial times where Punjab's hospitals and schools had become incapable of performing their basic functions due to lack of funds and thousands of people were daily sliding down the poverty line due to inflation, unemployment and loadshedding the decision of acquiring 28 new luxury vehicles has come as a shock.
Flaying the decision, the PML-Q leader said that the current rulers of Punjab were following in the footsteps of Muhammad Shah Rangeela, a debauched Mughal King and their claims of adopting simplicity were nothing more than a farce. He said that the hidden face of N-League now stood fully exposed to the people of Punjab and their announcements of bringing prices of essential commodities down to the level of 1999, auctioning of previous government's bullet-proof cars and converting 8 Club Road, Lahore into an IT University had proven to be a pack of lies. Moonis alleged the N-League government is solely responsible for Punjab's existing sorry state of affairs and reiterated his party's firm resolve to protect the interests of the poor.
