LAHORE: The PPP has reacted sharply to PTI’s announcement of making Sindh the next leg of its campaign against inflation.
The party, which had supported the PTI’s protest in Punjab, has asked Imran Khan to raise the issue if eatables are cheaper in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the province his party is ruling.
“If Imran Khan wishes to hold a protest demonstration in Sindh he should inform (the people) whether tomatoes are being sold in KP at Rs2 per kg, ghee at Rs5 per kg and atta being supplied free of cost,” opposition leader in National Assembly Khurshid Shah said. He was talking to the media at a mass wedding ceremony here on Monday.
“Price hike is a countrywide issue and the government should resolve the problem as people in Lahore had taken to the street against it,” he said.
He told a questioner that his party would not allow privatisation of state-run institutions. The PML-N government has planned to sell out 32 institutions, including the national flag carrier PIA and Pakistan Steel Mills, within a year.
Mr Shah denied the impression that his party was playing the role of a friendly opposition.
“Opposition is opposition. The PML-N too had been blamed for being friendly opposition against the then PPP government but Nawaz Sharif had taken the Memogate scandal to Supreme Court,” he recalled.
“We are neither an opposition of ‘go Baba go’ and ‘go Musharraf go’ nor we wish to do any act that may benefit the third party. The third force eventually takes advantage of the clash between political parties.”
Stressing that his party favoured giving the government sufficient time to introduce the policies it had promised in the general election, he said the Pakistan People’s Party would continue raising its voice for the masses.
