Hot News (19th May)

CHAKWAL May, 19. The meeting of District Nazim with
the opposition Nazmeen and members of District Council
Chakwal on Monday converted into an open katchery and
opposition members reacted very strongly as they were
totally ignored in the development schemes from the
last 20 months despite their repeated walkout and hue
and cry made in the session of District Assembly
Chakwal.  More than 20 male and female members meet
District Nazim Sardar Ghulam Abbas at his office on
the curtsey call of District Nazim and incidentally
this was the first meeting between District Nazim and
opposition members.  The opposition members Colonel ®
Raja MuhammadYounas, Raja Muhammad Ejaz, Malik Feroz
Khan, Tariq Mehmood Advocate, Pir Nisar Qasim, Rehana
Babar Salim, Asma Zaheer and Amina Begum told the
District Nazim that the opposition members were not
given even a single penny from the development schemes
and the development funds were disbursed among those
people who were defeated by them in the local bodies
election.  Colonel Raja Muhammad Younas was very
critical of the policies of the District Nazim and was
of the view that ignoring the opposition Nazmeen in
the development program is a total negation of
devolution of power plan started by the Government.
Rehana Babar Salim told the Nazim that the even women
opposition members were not involved and the claim of
33 percent representation in the District, Tehsil and
Union Council level made null and void as the women
was made a show peace in the house and women were not
allowed to participate in the development of District
Chakwal.  Speaking on this occasion Sardar Ghulam
Abbas was of the view that the attitude of the
opposition in the house was throughout negative during
the last twenty months and very dirty language was
used by opposition members against the treasury
benches and even glasses were thrown from the
opposition members to the Nazmeen belonging to
treasury benches.  Sardar Ghulam Abbas however assured
that if opposition will adopted a positive attitude he
will be provided necessary development funds for their
schemes as without the participation of opposition a
real democracy cannot flourish.  District Nazim
assured that the opposition members will be
compensated therefore the opposition should come
healthy and positive attitude they will be
accommodated accordingly.
