Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that 'Ali Baba Forty Thieves' and corrupt mafia have made the life of people miserable through loadshedding and other problems and while the people are distressed, the rulers are content to watch their sufferings and hardships from air-conditioned rooms.
He said that due to criminal negligence of the rulers, circular debt has reached the figure of 400 billion rupees during the last four years. He said that the protest of the people against protracted loadshedding is justified and he fully supports them and is ready to sacrifice his life for the masses. He was talking to media in his tent office at Minar-e-Pakistan on Sunday. The chief minister said that the rulers were wrong if they thought they could resolve the issue of circular debt by printing more currency notes.
He said that people could see through their designs and would reject this "favour". He said that masses were well aware of the fact that the corrupt rulers were the main cause of their problems and wanted to get rid of these looters and plunderers. He said that the convicted prime minister had promised at the energy conference held on April 09 in the provincial metropolis that a unified loadshedding schedule will be enforced throughout the country but this decision had not been implemented. He said that a discriminatory attitude was being shown to Punjab regarding loadshedding, which could not be tolerated any longer. In reply to a question about postponement of elections, he said that the rulers who did not respect the decisions of the courts nor perceived the problems of the masses could go to any extent.
