Dr. Yasmin Raashid health advisor to PTI Chairman Imran Khan said unfortunately Sharif Brothers 30 years rule present an imprint of brutal social injustice with the nation, which still lacks basic amenity of life i.e. safe drinking water. Poor Lahorites who have been enslaved by Sharif Brothers self-styled governance have no other option but to drink poisonous water supplied by Water and Sanitation Agency (Wasa) she added. She said by weight, the average human body is 60 percent water of and without clean water the body will become sick and die. She said Khadam A Alla who drinks imported mineral water has no idea that the people of provincial metropolitan who got him elected are drinking water full of E-coli bacteria, suspended particles and arsenic. Waterborne infectious diseases are one of the most common causes of infant deaths in Pakistan, 60 percent of the infants succumb to death due to waterborne diseases, 45 percent of the children die of diarrhea alone she added. She said the presence of E-coli, a kind of fecal coliform bacteria, indicates sewage or animal waste contaminating in drinking water because the century old water supply lines are still being used and drinking water is being contaminating by nearby passing sewerage pipelines. Water samples from Lahore shows that most parameters were found to be much higher than what are considered permissible levels by the WHO, but nobody cares in the presence of callous status quo she added. She said Khadam A Alla has 165 billion to burn on Metro Train but he does not have funds to replace water supply lines.
PTI Information Secretary Andleeb Abbas said a colossal 80 percent of all diseases in Pakistan are caused by contaminated water and it seems Sharif Brothers are indifferent to the plight of the poor patients. The number of patients with waterborne diseases was increasing manifold and this upward trend was going unchecked in Punjab but Shabaz Sharif has no funds for health sector as his only priority is to build mega projects and make money from commissions and kickbacks she added. She said Khadam A Alla has no understating that the people who will ride on 165 billion flashy Metro Train are devoid of safe drinking water and healthcare facilities. She said Sharif Brothers have drained people???s tax money to keep the Ittafaq foundry running. The allocation for health and education has declined and Sharif Brothers are diverting health and education allocation towards showy projects like Metro Bus and motorways, a priority for furthering their own businesses she said. Sharif Brothers priorities are misplaced and the intent behind these flashy projects is just vote buying and not the welfare of the people she added. She said Khadam A Alla duped poor people by his hollow slogans and false promises.
