HYDERABAD, June 14: Pakistan People’s Party MNA Nawab Abdul Ghani Talpur said on Saturday that the incentives and relief given to farming community in the budget would prove to be a great help in resolving food crisis.

In a statement faxed to Dawn on Saturday, the MNA called the budget balanced in the face of looming economic crisis.

He lashed out at the performance of previous government and said that the former rulers had trampled over the interests of their own people in order to protect foreign interests.

They had given nothing to people except unemployment, poverty and price hike and then fled the country. Not a single megawatt of electricity had been added to national grid system during last nine years of their rule, he said.

He said that loadshedding led to halt commercial and industrial activities and paralysed people’s lives. The government would soon start a massive programme for power generation to restore economic activities, he said.

He said the country had already suffered a lot due to political confrontation and the PPP had now decided to settle all differences through negotiations.
