Summary Says DCs, DPOs used to pay money for lucrative transfers in Usman Buzdar’s tenure

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Opposition leader in National Assembly Raja Riaz said on Wednesday the PTI chairman destabilised the country and a no-confidence motion was moved.

Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, Riaz said we were elected on the PTI ticket. "I separated myself from the PTI chief, telling him that his policies were harming the country," he said. 

The DCs and DPOs used to pay money for their lucrative posts / transfers during Usman Buzdar’s tenure in the Punjab government, he alleged. 

The opposition leader said they strongly opposed the PTI chief in the no-confidence motion against him. 

He said the PTI chief carried out the May 9 incident wherein the monuments of the martyrs were burnt and broken.

“Shehbaz Sharif saved us from default with all his dedication. Khawaja Asif has forgotten that if the country is saved from default, we also have played a central role. We are very happy today that we have played our role to save the country from defaulting," he said. 

"Now there is the issue of inflation which the government has not been able to control. The electricity rates are continuously increasing. I hope the caretaker government will take care of the poor people, saving them from the clutches of inflation as it has become difficult for the poor man to survive,” the opposition leader said.

He hoped the caretaker government would work to contain inflation besides supporting the legitimate policies of the current government.
