LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif on Monday accused President Asif Ali Zardari of robbing the nation of billions of rupees, adding that, the nation would retrieve its wealth from the president, DawnNews reported.
Addressing an inauguration ceremony of the Pakpattan hydro electric power project at Kumhari Wala headworks, the chief minister said “the traders of Islamabad had set up a market to buy off loyalties…but no one agreed to sell his/her conscience”.
Chief Minister Shahbaz added that the Pakistan People’s Party-led government had taken the country to the brink of destruction.
Regarding the project, the chief minister said that it would produce 2.82 megawatts of electricity.
He said the project would cost some 1048 million rupees and would be completed by 2014.
why it took 4 years from your Government to start such project oh yes waiting for election time to show people what your government did !!!
Only a few days back Nawaz Sharif said that he will take oath from Zardari. Today he claimed credit for helping Zardari Govt to complete its full 5 year tenure . And now his younger brother says that Zardari stole billions . So Nawaz helped a thief to complete his 5 year ternure and he is willing to take oath from the same thief !! What do u call such a person ? I dont trust any ot them .
Pot calling the kettle black. We need new and clean leadership, like Imran Khan. At the very least he cannot be worse then these two “loteras”. The wannabe Mughal e Azam and de facto Ali Baba and his forty thieves have played havoc with the country. It is now a question of survival of Pakistan.
Pakistan needs an effective very high level watch dog which has teeth to check high level corruption. The attempts in the Supreme Court have failed for being stuck in the legal cow webs.
If Mr, Shahbaz Sharif knew that Zardari has looted billions then why didn’t he do something to stop it. He at least could have filed a REFRENCE or a PATITION in the Supreme Court.
He is accusing AZ as if he has converted Punjab to Switzerland. After devolution of Power every province is responsible for where that province stands today. PMLN did not even do a single Power project in the last 4 years and kept blaming the Federal Govt. Billions of Rupees spent in the Laptops which is a dead investment, the money went to the Chinese Companies. Not even a single rupee circulated in the economy, These guys have no idea of the economy. Had they at least given cash to the people, the money would have remained at least within our system/boundaries.
Why now? When elections are round the corner? Why did you guys do the protests in the first place and damaged state’s property? Why did you lie to the people that you do not have any authority to do such projects?
bird of feathers flock together now accuses each other of corruption. sorry, the intelligent people of pakistan are not to believe your hanky panky tricks this time,this has become an old tricks,think of some new tricks
someone’s been caught red handed, cheers!
How about returning the Billions that your immediate family borrowed from banks? Any time table for that?
