LAHORE- Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif has said that petrol bomb has been dropped on Punjab, while a highly unjust attitude is being shown to Punjab with regard to supply of electricity, gas and petrol.
Talking to reporters during his visit to the first Aashiyana Housing Scheme at Saroba Atari on Sunday, he said that a step-motherly treatment was being meted out to the province.
Shahbaz said that people of Punjab had a national thinking and vote for political parties without any discrimination but despite this a totally unjust attitude to the people of Punjab was highly unfair.
He said that an equitable policy should be adopted towards the people of the whole country and if the discriminatory attitude to Punjab was not changed, the 10 crore people of the province knew how to get their rights.
Earlier, while talking to the families who have been allotted houses during his visit to the first Aashiyana Housing Scheme at Saroba Atari, the CM said that Aashiyana Housing Project was the realisation of the dreams of workers, orphans, widows and the poor which their forefathers had seen at the time of their migration to Pakistan.
He said that rulers were under this debt for the last 63 years and credit went to PML-N which had repaid it through launching Aashiyana Housing Scheme.
The allottees, present on the occasion, paid rich tributes to the Chief Minister for launching Aashiyana Housing Scheme for the low-income people.
They said that though colonies had been set up for Ministers, judges, Generals and officers but it was for the first time that the Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif had initiated a modern housing project for the poor and thereby practically proved that he had a deep sympathy for the common man.
Samiullah who has been allotted a house in Aashiyana Housing Scheme said that Aashiyana Housing Scheme was unique with regard to its standard and transparency.
He said that his salary is Rs.14,000 and in view of his low-income he could not even imagine that he would have his own house where he would live with his family with complete peace of mind.
He said that provision of houses to the poor in the present era of price-hike was a big favour of Punjab government.
A teacher at Army Public School Muhammad Shoaib Ahmed said that the way Punjab Land Development Company had conducted transparent balloting in front of TV cameras for Aashiyana Housing Scheme was unprecedented.
