LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has begun its mass-contact campaign pan of which is awareness about what the party says `the PML-N government`s ways to loot the masses`.

The campaign will serve as preparation for the next general election.

PTl central Punjab President Abdul Aleem Khan said the government was `extoning` Rs30 per litre on petrol besides imposing many taxes to burden the masses. The hard-earned taxpayers` money was being spent to give protocols to disqualified prime minister Nawaz Sharif, he said.

He said the government was running advenisements in print and electronic media but now the reality of `fake` development was surfacing. He said loadshedding was going on despite the fact that weather had changed. He said the government was now being compelled to shut down the companies for being involved in corruption.

Claiming that the PML-N government did nothing during the past four years, he said, Ayaz Sadiq was PML-N MNA for the past 15 years but now recently he had woken up to inaugurate some filtration plants in NA-122 constituency. He said clean drinking water was already being supplied in each of constituency`s union council through filtration plants installed by Abdul Aleem Khan Foundation.

RESOLUTION: The Pakistan Tehreek-iInsaf (PTI) has submitted a resolution in the Punjab Assembly against the protocol being accorded to the disqualified prime minister on his arrival back home. The resolution seeks explanation from incumbent prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.

Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Mian Mahmoodur Rasheed in his resolution stated that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was given royal protocol upon his arrival in Pakistan as if he had won laurels for the country.

He said the government, on the directions of Mr Abbasi, had given 60-vehicle fleet protocol to Nawaz Sharif causing financial burden on the national kitty. He said Mr Sharif should only be given protocol allowed to former prime ministers.
