SARGODHA: (Tahir Kamboh) Punjab Governor Sardar Saleem Haider on Tuesday stated that his party coalition with the government was founded on political convenience but not love which would have led to catastrophic damages to the nation had he not agreed to go along with the existing system of elections.
During his visit to Sargodha, Sardar Saleem Haider raised the issue of party workers and the media, noting that the absence of healthcare facilities in all of Punjab was subjecting the population to tremendous challenges because of the lack of treatment opportunities. He decried the provincial government because it did not give a no-objection certificate (NOC) to a 700-bed hospital that had received Sargodha approval as it was not worth taking a long time to do so.
Sardar Saleem Haider noted that some work was still underway to make sure that the hospital was built but that community service should above all political differences. He further attributed financial strains that were faced by farmers to bad agricultural policies and that the bad planning had caused the price of flour and bread to increase.
He stated that policies cannot be made in offices only but authorities should consult stakeholders before concluding decisions.
Restating the stand of his party, Haider said the Pakistan Peoples Party was the only representative of the poor, middle and marginalized classes. He promised to keep up the fight towards the defense of people rights and he was confident that the party will eventually prevail.
