Karachi: Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that May 9 was the most darkest day in the history of the country adding that group of people attacked the military installations on incitement of Imran Khan.
Addressing a laying foundation of much awaited K-4 project in Karachi, the premier alleged that the May 9 conspiracy had connection with abroad.
The PM said that no one should have any objection over exemplary punishment’s under the ambit of law to those who attacked and insulted monuments of martyrs.
Shahbaz Sharif said that Imran Khan in his quarter to four-year reign didn’t concentrate on the problems of Karachi while the important project for Karachiites K-1V was sidelined to cold storage.
The premier in his speech reiterated his resolve to get the country out of the problems.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that no one should object if Government of Pakistan punished the arsonists of May 9 as per law, the way the United States had done to its citizens for storming the Capitol building on January 6, 2021.
“Today, in the city of Quaid, we all are ashamed for what happened on May 9 in Lahore. The justice requires to punish the perpetrators like the rioters of Capitol building on January 6, 2021. If that punishment was legal, then no one should object if we do so under our law for the desecration of our martyrs,” the prime minister said.
the prime minister said the politics of political chaos culminated on May 9 in the form of desecration of nation’s martyrs, Ghazis and security installations.
He said the strings of the May 9 conspiracy were attached to abroad and that the desecration of martyrs and installations on the instigation of Imran Niazi was the darkest chapter in the nation’s history.
Recalling his recent interaction with the family members of martyrs, the prime minister said their dear ones had rendered sacrifices for the country but the arsonists desecrated their monuments.
The prime minister said the person who always blamed others for plunders had resorted to arsons when arrested on charges of corruption.
“What kind of politics is this,” he questioned and said no political leader in the past ever instigated an attack on Jinnah House or military installations, despite having faced many difficulties.
He said the leaders of MQM and PPP – both representing Sindh – gave a message of national unity which was a must for national development.
He said the coalition government coped with huge challenges through collective wisdom, including floods, inflation, IMF and also the nefarious designs of chaotic politics which culminated on the darkest day of May 9.
Committing to revive Pakistan’s lost grandeur, the prime minister lamented the unnecessary delay in the K-IV project that was meant to provide drinking water to millions of the Karachi people.
Prime Minister Shehbaz asked the relevant ministries to provide uninterrupted funding to ensure project’s completion without further delay.
He said the project was “most important” for him because the people of a Quaid’s city, were deprived of the drinking water, despite it being a city with the highest revenue generation and taxation.
The prime minister assured that he would put the project at top priority in the upcoming budget and provide maximum funds for its early completion.
