DADU, Sept 29: PML-N leader Liaquat Ali Khan Jatoi has said that more than 40 MNAs, MPAs and PPP leaders of Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will join the party after the establishment of a caretaker government.

Speaking to a gathering of party workers at Beto Jatoi village on Saturday, Mr Jatoi said that PPP ministers and legislators indulged in amassing billions of rupees while hundreds of thousands of flood-affected people were starving.

He said the PPP government was grossly inefficient and it had utterly failed to provide relief to flood victims in Jacobabad, Kashmore, Kandhkot, Shikarpur, Larkana and Kambar-Shahdadkot.

Mr Jatoi who has also remained chief minister of Sindh said that people had voted the PPP into power in the name of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto in 2008 but their elected MPAs and MNAs had forgotten them in this time of trial.

He said that millions of acres feet of rainwater was standing in major populated towns but the towns’ administrations had failed to drain out the water. If the rainwater was not pumped out immediately it would lead to breakout of diseases, he warned.

He said the government had not announced any package to help the victims or compensated their losses. PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif who had helped flood-affected people after the super flood of 2010 and heavy rains of 2011 would again extend help to them, he said.

He dismissed a report as wrong that he was preparing to join the PPP and said such news had been spread maliciously to damage his and his family’s political career. The PML-N would secure a majority of seats of MPAs and MNAs in Sindh in the upcoming general elections, he claimed.

Mr Jatoi condemned unabated killing of innocent people in Karachi in incidents of targeted killing and held the government responsible for it. The government must maintain peace in Karachi and interior of Sindh, he said.

He said that he would launch development projects at Gorakh Hill Station after he came to power.—BoC
