However, according to Dr. Saif, this goodwill gesture was met with \u201cpettiness rather than cooperation\u201d from PML-N leadership.<br \/>\n\u201cIf the tragedy in Swat is being linked to corruption, then what about the devastation in Punjab?\u201d Dr. Saif questioned. He urged Atta Tarar to explain the loss of life, infrastructure damage, and widespread drainage failures in Lahore and Islamabad during the recent rains.<br \/>\nDr. Saif said that just a few hours of rainfall had exposed the fragile urban infrastructure in both cities, contradicting the Sharif family\u2019s long-standing claims of development.<br \/>\nHe emphasized that despite decades of rule by the Sharif family, the inability of major urban centers to withstand seasonal rains reflects the hollowness of their development narrative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR Advisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information, Barrister Dr. Muhammad Ali Saif, has strongly criticized Federal Minister Attaullah Tarar\u2019s recent remarks, accusing the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of exploiting natural disasters for political point-scoring.
