ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) on Tuesday decided to stop playing role of a friendly Opposition and evolve a strategy to give tough time to the ruling PPP over its failure in evolving a transparent mechanism for rehabilitation of the flood-hit masses.
These decisions were taken during an important consu-ltative meeting of the party chaired by Muhammad Nawaz Sharif that was attended by all the central leaders, MNAs and Senators here at the Punjab House.
The meeting reviewed the recent floods in the country, scale of devastation and the Federal Government’s response to the national disaster.
The meeting deplored that the apathy of the Government in addressing the problems of the flood-affectees and its failure in paying cash compensations to those willing to return to their flood-ravaged residential localities before the forth-coming Eid.
Insiders informed TheNation that the party Quaid Nawaz Sharif also apprised the party colleagues of the Government’s failure in paying Rs 20,000 cash compensation per family despite the fact there was plenty of money received from the US and other countries of the world.
Sources were of the view that Nawaz Sharif vented his anger over the Government’s apathy after his meeting with visiting US envoy Brain D Hunt, who had apprised him of the money US government had paid to the Federal Government so far for flood relief work.
Sources further said that Nawaz Sharif also rejected the resignation of MNA Sardar Mehtab Abbasi and directed him to participate in the coming session.
Sardar Mehtab Abbasi had rendered his resignation by having reservations over the name of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and he favoured the estab-lishment of Hazara province.
Sardar Mehtab Abbasi assured his party leader that he would do his utmost in highlighting the party’s stance on the floor of the
National Assembly scheduled to meet from 2nd September on the requisition of the PML-N to discuss the topical national issues.
Earlier, in another meeting with MPs from Chakwal district, Nawaz discussed about awarding the party ticket for NA-61 Chakwal-11 which fell vacant after the resignation of the PML-N MNA Faiz Muhammad Tamman.
