KARACHI: Provincial Minister for Anti-Corruption, Industries and Commerce and Cooperative Department Sindh, Jam Ikramullah Dharejo has said that the PPP, during its last tenure, had done record development works, including agricultural reforms and poverty alleviation, besides introducing important programs, but it was regrettable that the present federal government had done nothing, but took revenge and had brought inflation to the people.
He said this while meeting with various delegations in his office today. Dharejo added that the current government had recorded a record 84 percent inflation in the 18-month period. The general segment, including the farmers, has lagged behind. The rising prices of oil and fertilizers to run the tubewell have ruined the lives of the farmers. He said that whenever the people raise their hands to pray, they ask for deliverance from the existing oppressive rulers.
The minister said, “The only way to get out of the present difficult situation is to have the Prime Minister resigned immediately so that the nation can be saved and the people may breathe a sigh of relief.”
He said that when they talked about the problems of the people, the government ministers used abusive language. He said that during the last five years of the PPP, the Pakistan Peoples Party made comprehensive and important legislation like the 18th Amendment, but no such comprehensive law could be found on the part of the current federal govt.
