Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervez Elahi has said their alliance with Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is stronger than ever, as he reiterated that elements trying to create misunderstandings between them will fail.

The remarks came during Elahi’s meeting with PTI leader Zartaj Gul, who visited the Punjab CM’s office on Monday, The News reported. The political situation and development plans in Dera Ghazi Khan were discussed in the meeting where Elahi’s son Moonis and PTI leader Humayun Khan were also present.

“Our alliance is stronger than ever. The 13-party cabal proved a wall of sand in front of lone Imran Khan,” CM Elahi reiterated his support for the former prime minister.

In a tweet, Elahi said that timely completion of the development projects of Dera Ghazi Khan will be ensured in consultation with public representatives. He added that development is the right of the people of Dera Ghazi Khan and they will be giving this right.

Elahi further stated that Sardar Fateh Muhammad Khan Buzdar Institute of Cardiology is a public welfare project and a proposal to give special allowance to its doctors is under consideration as the people of Balochistan will also benefit from this facility.

“The PDM-led federal government has failed miserably on every front as the economy was devastated,” he stated and deplored that those claiming to be the saviour of the country had brought Pakistan to the brink of destruction and chaos.

Those who boasted to save the country are unable to save their dwindling politics, he added.

Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, the convener of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), described the imposition of “non-local” police and administration on the port city as an injustice for the people, as reported by The News on Friday.

During a labor wing of the party-organized iftar dinner in North Nazimabad, the politician claimed that Karachi had non-local police, calling this an injustice to the city’s residents.

Siddiqui questioned why the province’s capital city had a non-local police force, pointing out that other major centers in Sindh had their own citizens working in state and federal organizations.

We are going through numerous political phases as a country, and we are forced to use non-local administration and law enforcement. However, the MQM-P has once again reclaimed from the non-locals the mandate of the province’s metropolitan districts,” Siddiqui stated.

Siddiqui claimed that “ghair maqami,” or non-local, bandits were killing young people in Karachi through street violence, citing the city’s growing number of youth fatalities from such incidents.

“Young people in the city are being brutally murdered by out-of-town bandits during Ramadan,” the MQM-P leader claimed.

He went on to say that Sindh’s “racist” administration had been given free rein and that although his party had been silent throughout Ramadan, it will now speak out about the deaths of young people in the city at the hands of outside bandits.

Siddiqui emphasized that if it took going to the streets to defend women’s honor, the MQM-P would not think twice about making any sacrifice. The ad hoc organizing committee of the party was also present at the occasion.
