ISLAMABAD
\nCalling the Murree tragedy the result of \u2018the height of incompetence\u2019 of the PT) government, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif said categorically on Monday that the negligence shown by the government, in this case, was \u2018simply unforgivable\u2019. Speaking during the National Assembly session, he said how unfortunate it was that thousands of cars remained stuck at the hill station for as many as 20 hours, but the Punjab government did not budge even by an inch.
\n\u201cThe result was that innocent children, young and old shivered to death inside their vehicles while begging the authorities to save their lives,\u201d he regretted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat steps the government took to prevent the tragedy from happening when the Met Office had forecast heavy snow for Murree and other mountainous areas of the country,\u201d he said, and asked the government to pack up and go home since, what he called, it was \u2018good for nothing. \u201cAnd if you don\u2019t leave, the people will grab you and throw you out of the corridors of power,\u201d Shehbaz warned.<\/p>\n
Leader of the Opposition further said the present government knew nothing but to call its political opponents names. \u201cThe opposition, on the other hand, faced all \u2018persecution\u2019 by the government manfully,\u201d he added. He was of the view that the formation of a committee of government servants to probe the Murree tragedy was a \u2018joke\u2019.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, quoting its sources, a private television channel reported that the opposition parties have decided to protest against inflation outside the parliament day after tomorrow (Wednesday, January 12, 2022). The parties have also asked their workers in Rawalpindi and Islamabad to attend the protest demonstration. =DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
