PPP’s allegations reflect political frustration, fear of electoral defeat; says Barrister Danyal

RAWALPINDI, Jul 27 (APP): Federal Parliamentary Secretary for Information and Broadcasting, Barrister Danyal Chaudhry, on Monday rejected the joint press conference of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders Nadeem Afzal Chan and Saeed Ghani, labeling their claims a combination of baseless allegations and political frustration aimed at misleading the public.

In a statement, Barrister Danyal asserted that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government remains firmly committed to public service, economic stability and widespread development, adding that criticisms regarding the Green Bus initiative, wheat procurement, monsoon management, and other matters are unfounded political point-scoring.

He advised the PPP leadership to reflect on its own governance record before shifting blame.

Refuting Saeed Ghani’s allegation regarding firing on a candidate, Barrister Danyal expressed grief over the tragic killing of worker Mukhtiar Younus and extended deep condolences to the bereaved family.

He maintained that the Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections are being conducted in a free, fair and transparent manner, noting that levelling pre-poll rigging allegations out of fear of impending defeat is a routine tactic of the opposition.

Highlighting provincial achievements, Barrister Danyal emphasized that the Punjab government, under CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif, is rapidly delivering public welfare initiatives. He highlighted that the Green Bus project provides safe, modern and eco-friendly transit to thousands daily, cautioning that targeting essential public utilities harms citizen interests.

He also dispelled claims regarding inadequate facilities in Punjab’s public schools, pointing to ongoing, visible upgrades in infrastructure, IT laboratories and smart classrooms.

Additionally, he rejected assertions that agriculture is neglected in Punjab or that local farmers were bypassed during wheat procurement, affirming that all state decisions are executed transparently according to law.

Addressing rain management, Barrister Danyal denied claims that half of Punjab was submerged during recent monsoon spells, saying that prompt field action ensured rainwater was cleared from affected zones within hours.

He reiterated that the federal government, under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, continues to take decisive measures to secure economic stability, curb inflation, attract foreign investment and deliver direct relief to the masses.
