Pervaiz backs demands of blind persons

LAHORE
PAKISTAN Muslim League-Q senior central leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Pervaiz Elahi has fully supported the demands of the blind persons staging sit-in outside the Punjab Assembly and said that PML-N had not fulfilled the promises made with the normal people, what to talk of the visually impaired persons.
He said in a statement issued here Tuesday that it was deplorable that the promises the rulers of Punjab had made last year with the visually impaired persons after they were subjected to worst torture, which was greatly condemned the world over and nation-wide, on coming on roads for their demands, had not been honoured yet and the blinds had been forced to come out on roads once again. He said that during his rule in the Punjab, he had provided jobs and facilities, including special quota in education institutions to the handicapped persons, in the Chief Minister’s House for the first time a blind woman operator was appointed.
