Sindh floods: 'Punjab contributed Rs550m for flood relief':
SHAHDADKOT: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said Punjab had contributed Rs550 million for flood relief in Sindh.
Addressing a rally during his visit to flood-hit areas of Sindh, Sharif said that he wanted to bring a change in the lives of the flood victims.
I want that you [people] should be provided with opportunities to progress so that Pakistan progresses too.
He said that he had been observing the flood situation in Sindh and that it wrenched his heart to see how floods had devastated the lives of people.
Sharif said that his sympathies were with the people and that he had come to the flood affected areas to answer the plight of flood victims.
The frequent visits of the Sharif brothers to Sindh have been a source of annoyance for the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leadership. They insist that nothing will be achieved because the people of the province are aware that [the Sharifs] have looted and plundered public money during their tenure.
Earlier, Imadad Chandio of the PML-N and a member of its organising committee said that Nawaz Sharifs recent visit was merely to help the flood survivors.
We are grateful to President Asif Ali Zardari, whose policies have created a division in the rank and file of the party [PPP], he sarcastically remarked. Many party leaders are confused about their future.
The party has also started setting up Sharif tent cities in flood-hit areas and Sharif ration cards are also being distributed among the families.
Each ration card will be enough for five family members who can use it for five months, Chandio said, adding that his party has also started four mobile dispensaries.
