Speaker Punjab Assembly Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has summoned Deputy Commissioner (DC) Faisalabad for ignoring his directives. In his ruling, Speaker Elahi ordered that DC Faisalabad must be present in the Punjab Assembly for repeatedly ignoring his orders.
The ruling was given during the session of Punjab Assembly, which started after a delay of more than an hour from its scheduled time with Speaker Elahi in the chair on Monday.
During the session, the question-hour remained pending for second consecutive day as the questions related to the Labor and Human Resource department were put on hold in last sitting while the questions related to the Mines and Minerals department couldn’t be taken up on Monday.
As the session started, Speaker Elahi came down hard over DC Faisalabad for not attending his phone calls while summoning him in the House for Tuesday. “The DC Faisalabad isn’t paying heed to anyone including me. He is telling a lie that he is busy in meetings but the reality is that he is sitting in his house,” Elahi remarked. Summon him in the House for explanation, the Speaker ruled.
Pervaiz Elahi was of the view that Rescue 1122 station is to be built in Faisalabad with a cost of 100 million, and a letter was sent to the DC in this regard, but no reply has been accorded so far. According to Elahi, he made a phone call to DC Faisalabad,but he didn’t talk to him while also ignoring the instructions of a provincial minister. Speaker gave strong worded ruling while summoning both the DC Faisalabad and In-charge Rescue 1122 Faisalabad, today in Punjab Assembly.
PML-N senior MPA Khalil Tahir Sandhu also condemned the behavior of DC while showing solidarity with the Speaker. “You have served as Deputy Prime Minister and Chief Minister Punjab. The attitude of a BPS-18 officer for you is highly condemnable,” said PML-N lawmaker.
