Entire nation should offer collective prayer like for rain for ouster of the rulers, patients are told to come to hospital bringing cot, bed, medicine from home: Address at enthusiastic workers convention
Pakistan Muslim League (PML) senior central leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Ch Parvez Elahi has said the nation will get riddance of incompetent rulers if whole of opposition is united, for their ouster entire nation needs to arrange for offering collective “dua” like was done for rain.
Addressing a very big quite enthusiastic Workers Convention in Gujranwala today, he said that during our tenure even poor patient was taken to the hospital on ambulance where free medicines were provided to him even injecting costing up to Rs 10 thousand was also given free, but now the patient is told to come to the hospital along with cot, bed and medicines from home. He said that there are neither beds nor medicines in the hospitals now, patients are breathing last lying on cold floor, Shehbaz Sharif has not been able to start our established 1122 Service even after ruling the Punjab for 15 years, we had provided free education up to matric, undertaken unparalleled works for welfare and well-being of the people of all fields including farmers and workers and provided revolutionary facilities, our established Wazirabad Cardiology Hospital is not being allowed to become functional due to personal ego by Shehbaz Sharif due to which so far more than 8 thousand persons hailing from Gujranwala and adjoining areas have died due to heart attacks, Shehbaz Sharif “suffers from blood pressure on seeing plaques of my tenure, he should remove plaques of my name but should not block projects of peoples’ welfare because our plaque is in the heart of the people”, if overhead bridge was being constructed in Lahore instead of Gujranwala it would have been completed long ago, Punjab allocated budget is being spent on show off and dollars making projects in Lahore.
Continuing, he said that N-League has the greatest enmity with the farmers, Kisan Package was announced in the name of Patwari Package, “I earnestly appeal to every Pakistan to stay away from N-League in the next election otherwise even future generations will not forgive them.”
Ch Parvez Elahi asked the opposition to brush aside personal ego and go together unitedly and Almighty Allah will bless them with “barkat in their work”, N-League will run away and prestige of opposition will be enhanced.
He pointedly stated that whichever scheme was started during our tenure is still functional, we were providing job opportunities to ten lakhs people every year, Shehbaz Sharif had started 9 schemes all of which have failed, Nandipur power Project, Bahawalpur Solar Power Project and Sahiwal projects all have failed, what other cities of Punjab will get from Orange Line, people do not need show off projects like jangla bus, they need medicines in hospitals and education in schools, N-League people are involved in Panama Case, all those who were mentioned in this case had resigned but they are sticking to the chair for last six months.
He said that we had started Sialkot-Lahore Motorway on which two foreign universities were also to be established which were shifted to India because of their incompetency, incompetent Chief Minister has put Punjab under heavy debt of Rs 2000 billion.
Paying rich tributes to active colleagues, he said that our party needs workers like Zain Ali Bhatti.

Moonis Elahi Hails SC Proceedings on Child Maid Case
The talk of the town, "a minor girl maid brutally beaten by the judge and his wife" case has inspired the poor people of the country. It is normally known that the rich and powerful are above the law in this country and the poor people are the ones grilled by the law enforcers whenever there is a case of law breaking. As the media and social media widely condemned the inhumane treatment of the minor girl maid at the judge's house, the Suo Moto taken by the incumbent Chief Justice is widely appreciated. Moonis Elahi said the move to protect the poor maid will give hope to the people and it will strengthen the trust of people in the system.
It was reported that the parents of the girl had stated on media that they weren't forced not harassed by the powerful judge's family but they have decided to forgive him and will not proceed with any investigation. They had decided to train their child to work with more care in future and that the masters weren't guilty. This didn't convince the SC or the CJP Nisar who said proper investigation be done and the culprits be apprehended. Moonis Elahi appreciated the latest notice to confirm the relativity of the girl's parents to identify if they are the correct people to forgive the judge who is the main accused.

raided a residential colony near MUET and arrested Agha Babar Pathan
who was said to be a close friend of Anis Khaskheli.
Police

of late Naila in addition to many video clips and pictures of the
university’s female students saved on the gadgets’ data storage.

and became a high-profile case. He was arrested on the basis of mobile
phone record of late Naila, a final-year student in the Sindhi
department of Sindh University.
Like Pathan, police had
found pictures of late Naila besides a large collection of video clips
and photos of several other girls, most of them students of the
university, on the suspect’s laptop and mobile phones.

Activists
of Sindh United Party took out a rally here on Wednesday in protest
against load-shedding of gas in residential areas of the city.
SUP
leaders Mohammad Khan Channa, Niaz Hussain Panhwar and Baban Khan
Surhio who led the rally said that SSGC officials of Dadu zone had given
illegal gas connections to hotels, factories and influential persons
which had caused reduction in the gas amount and its pressure, leading
to long hours of load-shedding.
They said that when consumers complained about it, the SSGC officials started sending them heavy and inflated bills.
They warned they would continue the protest if the problems were not resolved.
Meanwhile,
special teams of SSGC raided several places in the district and found
25 illegal connections in Khairpur Nathan Shah, Dadu and Mehar towns and

First Time in Pakistan - Transgenders Will be Counted in Census
For the first
time in the history of Pakistan, the country's transgender community
will be included in the national population census.
The
Lahore High Court on Monday instructed the federal government, National
Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) and the interior ministry to
include the transgender community in the census while hearing a
petition filed by a transgender individual Waqar Ali in November 2016.
Ali
in his petition had called for the enforcement of the community’s
fundamental rights, including enrolment in the upcoming census and
issuance of national identity cards specifying their gender.
A
deputy attorney general from the federal government was present in
court during the hearing and assured the court that the transgender
community will indeed be part of the upcoming census.
Ali's
petition, filed through Advocate Sheraz Zaka, had pleaded that the
transgender community in Pakistan has been marginalised, citing an event
witnessed in Sialkot where a transgender was tortured.
Pakistan's sixth population census will begin on March 15, 2017.

PTI Counsel To Contact NAB to Reopen Hudaibiya Paper Mills Case
Justice Asif
Saeed Khosa, during a hearing of the Panamagate case on Monday, advised
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) counsel Naeem Bokhari to file a reference
with National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry
to reopen the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case.
The judge was
presiding over a five-member bench of the apex court when he said, "We
can call the chairman of NAB and ask him why he did not fulfil his
responsibilities."
Justice Khosa was referring to a case
in which now Finance Minister Ishaq Dar had submitted a handwritten
statement to a magistrate in 2000 alleging that the Sharif brothers had
used the Hudaibiyah Paper Mills as a cover for money laundering during
the late 90s.
In 2014, an accountability court judge had
rejected an application filed by NAB requesting the reopening of the
Hudaibiya Paper Mills and Raiwind Assets references.
As
per a NAB investigation report on the Hudaibiya Paper Mills reference
in 2014, the Sharif family had allegedly deposited ill-gotten money in
bank accounts opened in other people’s names and used it to pay off
loans of their companies.
The court observed that NAB had
not given proper opportunity to the Sharif family to join the
investigations and justify their assets.

Justice
Khosa also admonished Bokhari for steering the focus of the case away
from the London flats towards the Hudaibiya Paper Mills.
"First
in the case you spoke about the London flats. Now, you have jumped
towards the confessional statement of Ishaq Dar," he noted.
Justice
Ejaz ul Hasan, too, pointed out to the counsel that his arguments had
failed to make clear whether or not Maryam Nawaz is a dependent of her
father.
Bokhari told the court that the London flats were
bought under Maryam Nawaz's name between 1993 to 1996. He added that at
the time of the transaction, Maryam Nawaz was underage and had no
source of income.
The advocate alleged that Maryam Nawaz was made the beneficiary as a smokescreen, whereas the PM is the real owner of the flats.
He told the apex court that, in a similar manner, the PM set up mills in Jeddah and Dubai by using benami transactions.
Justice
Khosa pointed out that the burden of proof lies with the PTI since they
claim to have the evidence.
He added that it was the party's
responsibility to show how the companies were bought, who made them and
where the money came from.
Justice Khosa told Bokhari
that if the Supreme Court sends the references regarding the Hudaibiya
Paper Mills case to NAB, it will no longer be able to hold hearings on
the Panamagate case in accordance with Article 184.
He
further advised Bokhari that the responsibility was upon him to either
separate the two cases or ensure that they are heard simultaneously.
Justice Ejaz ul Hasan, however, advised the advocate that if the two cases are joined, the Panamagate case will become 'muddy'.

Moonis Elahi Believes PM Nawaz Shari Bosnia Visit Is Badly Planned
The recent crash of a PIA plane in Havelian has angered the nation over the uncontrolled corruption and lack of funds for the national flag carrier. While the organization suffers from tremendous losses and bad management, most of its planes have been grounded and are restricted from flying until they pass the tests. Nawaz Sharif on the other hand fancied an excursion to Bosnia engaging a PIA Boeing 777 for 3 days. Moonis Elahi said the PM should have been wise and should've had respected the sentiments of the people he governs. PIA would suffer further losses and the people would face troubles on the route it was planned to cover.
While the purpose of the Bosnia visit is undefined it is most probably a personal visit with family and close aides. Senior members of PMLN should have advised the PM against the trip especially at a time when his government should be working to fix the problems within the PIA. Moonis Elahi said the trip is badly timed and announcement to engage a publicly used plane is even more insulting. PMLN has forgotten to serve the nation rather it demands the nation to serve them. They rule like kings which is even worse for a democratic country because it promotes corruption leading to the birth of many societal problems.

Woman dies ‘unattended’ on hospital floor in Lahore - Moonis Elahi Blames PMLN Bad Governance
PMLN, especially CM Mian Shahbaz Sharif is in power in
Punjab for the last 9 years. While he enjoys the facilities of being a ruler of
Punjab, the people who voted for him suffer miserably. A woman, named Zahra Bibi, 60 years old
died today on the floor of Jinnah Hospital as she was unattended for the last 3
hours. She was laid out on the floor of the Medical Unit I because there was no
vacant bed inside. Moonis Elahi
lashed out on PMLN's poor governance saying the incumbent government was unable
to provide treatment facilities to its own voters.
The woman was brought in from Kasur to Punjab Institute of
Cardiology (PIC) complaining of chest pain and the doctors diagnosed her of
kidney pains. She was referred to the Services Hospital where doctors examined
her and asked her male attendant to take her to Jinnah Hospital as they lacked
the facilities needed for her treatment. Upon arrival at the Jinnah Hospital
she was checked in the emergency and was admitted in the Medical Unit I. But
since there was no bed available she was asked to lay outside here to breathed
her last. Moonis Elahi expressed
grief and sorrow over the misery of the woman she had to endure.
While Shahbaz Sharif is busy constructing roads, metro
projects and failed power projects for billions of rupees, there is no plan in
action over medical uplifting in Punjab. It seems Shahbaz Sharif thinks people
as vehicles who only need roads to run on and as vehicles don't get repaired in hospitals,
there is no need to spend any money on hospitals. MoonisElahi said during their time, Emergency Departments in hospitals all over
Punjab were formed and they ensured all medications were free in them
irrespective of how much it cost. They had also built new Cardiology hospitals
in Multan, Faisalabad and Wazirabad.
Moonis Elahi said
while they were also building roads and providing transportation facilities to
the people, PMLQ had not ruled out health sector from their agenda as the PMLNhas done. As they rush to the UK to get treated, they have no concern over the
plight of hospitals in Punjab. Every hospital in Punjab is in ruins and there
are no uplifting plans or expansion plans as the population is increasing
rapidly. Shortage of hospitals is leading to shortage of beds in the already
operational hospitals. PMLN must build new hospitals equipped with modern
technology to treat the patients in time of their arrival.
