[mr42O]

Thx to PTI and SC waste of public money has been stopped.

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is happy with Supreme Court observation regarding placement of photographs of political personalities on government advertisements.
In a statement issued Wednesday, Secretary Information PTI Shafqat Mahmood said, “these photos are being placed on government ads by federal and provincial governments to get political mileage for their respective parties. This is misuse of government money and also amounts to pre-poll rigging”.

He further said that Punjab Government is putting photos of Nawaz Sharif on its ads, who has no official position in Punjab or federal government.

Federal and Sindh government do the same and place Zardari’s photos. Since the President is a head of state it is inappropriate for his photo to appear on ads of provincial government activities. It is good, he said, that Supreme Court has taken notice of this misuse and sought a reply from the government.

Thank you Supreme Court ... I m glad I won't (hopefully) see those 'faces of incompetence' ,be they from central or Punjab Govt. It was as if public service (or is it ?) was an act of kindness by their highnesses ...hell it was their duty...

A good decision.

Public money is often taken to be the fiefdom of those in power, to be used at will.

but the ads even mentioning the names and praise of the govt should also be stopped

1) no wall chocking

2) no party flags on the streets or public property

3) no big party posters illegally on public properties

this should also be referred to SC
