Faisalabad—Chairman of Jeevay Pakistan Jeevay Maqami-Hakoomat (JPJM) Daniyal Aziz has said democracy is unacceptable where the poor have been deprived of even a single meal and are selling their children and are forced to commit suicide.
He said in local government there was no inflation. He said: “I defy this form of democracy where prices of petrol and electricity are sky-rocketing and the poor is unable to pay school and hospital fees. He said the days of corrupt rulers are numbered and now the poor will be empowered and would be masters of their own fate. The inflation is caused to benefit billionaires sitting in the assembly and they have no concerns with the plight of the poor people. The provincial governments are deliberately violating constitution and utilizing the Local Government (LG) funds and intentionally delaying the local government election that is a sheer violation of Article 140-A of the Constitution. He was addressing a huge public convention in Faisalabad on Sunday.
Daniyal said inflation couldn’t be controlled through administrative measures but by increasing interest rate. He said the top political leadership has taken billions of rupees loans from the bank that’s why the interest rate is being reduced to benefit them. He said the unemployment is soaring as unemployed youth is roaming on the roads with degrees in their hands and the government has failed to provide them employment opportunities
Daniyal Aziz said today’s participation shook the throne of rulers and if anybody tried to hinder the way of struggle for local governments, which is the democratic right of people, more resistance would be shown against it. More such conventions are being organized across the country to show the rulers that how desperately people want their own system of governance
Separation of judiciary from the executive is also the institutional basis that will ensure protection of women, minorities and underprivileged. Typically these are the classes that suffer most at the hands of the executive usually doing the bidding of the influential at the local level. Separation of judiciary from the executive is the only way to establish a system where the rule of law prevails thereby ensuring that the executive is equally answerable before the court of law for its actions rather than the executive itself being a court said Daniyal Aziz
Not only this movement is mobilizing the public it is fighting legal battle as well. Local Council Associations since the last 3 years have filed 27 cases in the Supreme Court of Pakistan and High Courts in four provinces for the restoration of Local Governments and against the appointment of administrator in place of Nazims but there is no progress in the courts against these constitutional violations. Chief Justice should see that why these cases have been kept pending for so long. He said that the historic Judgment of the Division Bench headed by Chief Justice, Baluchistan High court has restored the supremacy of the constitution and has failed all efforts to curb the independence of judiciary. Such decisions are needed in other provinces as well to give people their due rights.
Public Safety Commissions are non-functional due to suspension of Police Order 2002 and people at local level are facing severe violation of human rights. The rights of women, minorities and labourers have been usurped by delaying the local government polls by the provinces Daniyal Aziz said every union council will be empowered financially and given the powers of tehsil and every tehsil will be given the powers of a district
A huge number of people attended the event that included thousands of common people, women, youth; former UC, tehil and district Nazims, former councillors and citizens attended the public meeting. LCA Khyber Pakhtunkhaw …………., LCA Sindh Convenor and ex-Nazim Sukkur Nasir Shah, LCA Punjab President and ex-Nazim Lodhran Asghar Shah Gilani, LCA Balochistan President and ex-Quetta Nazim Maqbool Lehri and others also addressed the gathering.
