| [Pak Daily Times] Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer said on Monday that Punjab government should have zero tolerance for banned outfits. Talking to a private TV channel, the Punjab governor said that there were no terrorist training camps in Punjab. Then his lips fell off. However, The infamous However... he said recruitment was going on in the province. "Shahbaz Sharif is the chief minister of the province and he is ultimately responsible for law and order. I merely have a constitutional role and cannot directly interfere. I can't take over the police force," he said. Taseer also criticised Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, who "roams around with members of banned outfits". "Now the Ehle Sunnat and Brelwi organisations are demanding Rana Sanaullah's removal," he added. Referring to the ongoing flood situation, the governor said that he was fully participating in the flood relief efforts. "I have sent many trucks loaded with aid for the flood victims, along with a huge amount of money. But it's not proper to announce all the details publicly," he said. However, The return of the infamous However... he criticised the Punjab chief minister for trying to use the flood disaster for his publicity. "It's not the time for photo sessions. I myself regularly visit the flood-hit areas, but I would never ask the media for a photo session while riding a bike or a donkey cart. People have become politically mature and they want work instead of mere photography," the governor said. He said that it would be better if the Sharif brothers focused their attention on paying their taxes. Taseer said that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif was holding all 13 key ministries. "One man can't run all the affairs and Shahbaz Sharif is holding all the key ministries and he did not even consult anyone on the flood relief efforts," Taseer said. The governor added that the Sasti Roti Scheme was a disaster for Punjab, as there was no transparency in it and the scheme lacked documentation. |
