Lahore (Bureau Report): The verbal debate that started between Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis Chaudhry Salik Hussain and Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on the issue of alleged corruption in Pakistan's Punjab province has now reached the answers and counter reactions of each other. On the one hand, Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Chaudhry Salik Hussain is firm on his allegations, on the other hand, Maryam Nawaz has rejected his position and demanded to present evidence.
How did this conflict between the two leaders start, why was the appointment of the Deputy Commissioner of Gujarat mentioned in it and how did the matter go from the allegations of corruption to the discussion of pride and arrogance? This political conflict started with an interview of Federal Minister Chaudhry Salik Hussain, in which he questioned the performance of the Punjab government and said that stories of corruption are heard daily in the province. In an interview to a private TV channel, he said that "the cupboards would be full now, not the files of corruption," but he also made it clear that he did not have direct documentary evidence of the allegations. Chaudhry Salik Hussain also objected to the distribution of the development budget of Punjab and said that most of the development works are being done in Lahore while the districts where the government candidates were not successful are being ignored. He also referred to Gujarat and declared former Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi as the best Chief Minister of Punjab in his view. After Chaudhry Salik Hussain's statement, Punjab Information Minister Uzma Bukhari reacted and said that the main reason for his displeasure is that the Deputy Commissioner of his choice was not appointed in Gujarat. According to Uzma Bukhari, Maryam Nawaz does not accept political recommendations in appointing officers. He also reminded Salik Hussain that he is part of the federal government and should not bite the hand that feeds him. From here the matter went further and Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz herself responded to Chaudhry Salik Hussain while addressing a function in Attock on Tuesday.
He said that if Salik Hussain has evidence of corruption, then bring it forward, otherwise he will have to answer in the court. Maryam Nawaz also announced to send a legal notice of damages against him.
