MULTAN: (By Owais Jaffery)Former president Pervez Musharraf’s wife Sehba Musharraf was in the district on Friday and Saturday and distributed keys to 300 houses for flood victims.
Sehba told reporters that the Pervez Musharraf foundation had constructed hundreds of homes for flood victims in Dera Ghazi Khan, Kot Addu, Muzaffargarh and Rajanpur.
Sehba also addressed a large gathering of students from different colleges and universities in the district.
“Young people need to support Musharraf so that we can rid Pakistan of the corrupt forces that are destroying it at present,” she said.
“The current government is leeching off the public and their money.
They are not even apologetic about robbing the people. This is why the people need to come together to support change.
We need to build this country together from the ground up,” she said. She said that the Musharraf Foundation was dedicated to working on behalf of the youth and the needy in the country. “
We have constructed over 500 homes for flood victims and we are working to ensure medical facilities in flood zones. Our foundation is committed to helping these people,” she said.
Pervez Musharraf Foundation coordinator Asad Chaudhery said that the Pakistani youth needed to stand behind Musharraf in the coming elections. “He is the only hope for us to get out of this mess. All progressive Pakistanis should support Musharraf,” he said.
