‘Should I instate martial law administrator in Punjab’, asks PM

  • January 26, 2020

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf members of the National Assembly from Punjab called on Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday. They pleaded with the premier to empower Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, sources within the ruling party told SAMAA TV.

The meeting took place at the Punjab chief minister’s
residence in Lahore.

PTI lawmakers told PM Khan that governance in Punjab was not
good and that the chief minister should be empowered, according to the sources.

“Usman Buzdar has the powers, should I instate a martial law administrator now,” the prime minister was quoted as asking lawmakers of his party.

During the meeting, PTI MNAs also apprised the prime
minister of several issues prevailing in the province.

Raja Riaz told the prime minister that contrary to what he
was being conveyed, the situation in Punjab was bad. “It is feared that
the inflation-hit people may not attack our homes,” he said.

Malik Farooq said there’s a conflict of interest when it
comes to agriculture in Punjab. Mobeen Ahmed spoke of the arrest of a party
worker, who actually had filed a complaint regarding encroachment of his land.

PM Khan said the ones hatching conspiracies against CM Buzdar
themselves wanted to become the chief minister, according to the sources.

He said he knew how these groups were formed and how many
individuals were aspiring to be the chief minister.

“If Usman Buzdar didn’t remain the chief minister, then
the Punjab government would also not be there,” the sources quoted the
premier as saying.

“Asad Umar has informed me that some great work is
being done in Punjab.”

The prime minister also held separate meetings with CM Buzdar and PTI members of the Punjab Assembly.

A few PTI MPAs last week came out in opposition to the
Buzdar government and bureaucracy in Punjab. They said they wanted development
in their constituencies.

“Our remote areas should be treated equal to Lahore and
Faisalabad, which is also the manifesto of the PTI,” Sardar Shahabuddin, PTI
MPA from Layyah, told SAMAA TV on Jan 20.

“We do politics for honour. If we are not given respect,
then there will be no party, government or bureaucracy.”

Shahabuddin had said they would go to any length to have
their issues resolved.
