LAHORE:Jamaat-e-Islami Deputy Emir Liaqat Baloch has said the people have not been passed any benefit of reduction in prices of petroleum products.
In a statement issued from Mansoora on Thursday, he said the prices of essential food items were still touching the sky prices and government failed to provide relief to public. He said ill-planning and mismanagement at part of the policy makers were main reason behind the rapid increase in spread of Corona infection in the country.
He also expressed regret over the fragile and politically motivated accountability system. Meanwhile, JI Deputy Emir Dr Farid Paracha termed the report of the Punjab health department about number of Covid-19 infected people in Lahore a dangerous approach of the government to fulfill its negative objective.
He said the official figures only established government helplessness before the public. The masses, he stated, were desperate over arrangements in hospitals and they were feeling no difference in visiting a hospital and graveyard. He sought clarification over the reports that an Israel firm had conducted the survey and research on Crone virus presence in the different cities of the province.
