PPP rejects enquiry committee on Murree incident

Islamabad: Central Information Secretary PPP Parliamentarians Shazia Atta Marri has said that Pakistan People’s Party has rejected the enquiry committee formed by the federal government to probe the causes and lapses of Murree incident and has demanded a judicial commission to be constituted to determine the lapses because we do not have trust on government’s enquiry committee on Murree incident.

She added that a Judicial Commission does not require any paperwork and the chairman of PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had also demanded that a judicial commission would be formed in order to probe the Murree tragedy while that incident occurred due to the incompetence of the federal government and district administration.

This she expressed while talking to the mediapersons at outside the Parliament House hereon today. Shazia Marri said that incident of Murree was a tragic and tragedy on which our PPP’s Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had expressed his condolences & sympathies to the bereaved families while this tragic incident was also brought under the discussion in the parliament house and it was demanded by the opposition parties from the incumbent government that the facts of the incident should be made public and those who were responsible should be punished severely. Ms Marri said that the statement of the Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhry on the Murree incident was an non serious move and it was surprising and shameful that a federal government’s minister expressed his happiness over the influx of millions of tourists and hundreds of vehicles at Murree before the Murree incident while measures for relief activity wouldn’t carry out. Shazia Marri said that government has become callous and has no sentiments over deaths of innocent people and said that the current rulers should be held responsible for their negligence in the Murree tragedy and federal government didn’t anything for the victims of the Murree incident and the voice notes of martyrs were the proofs of negligence and failure of the federal government. She said that we will not score political points on this tragic incident but federal government has become cruel and hard-hearted and even after passing 18 hours of that incident, relief work was not carried out at the part of the government. PTI government and federal ministers should stop talking lies and making dramas while no relief activity was carried out by NDMA during Murree incident. Shazia Marri said that we will not let this selected government to forget the Murree tragedy because due to the incompetence of PTI-led government so many people lost their lives and Prime Minister Imran Khan, Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar, federal Information Minister should be held responsible for this incident and should also resign from their posts on this sad tragedy.
