He also said that the <strong>travel allowance for government employees in Grades 1 to 16<\/strong> had been increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on the monsoon situation, the minister said heavy rains had severely affected both urban and rural areas of Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He claimed that <strong>17 people had died in Punjab<\/strong> and <strong>20 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa<\/strong> due to rain-related incidents, adding that the issue had not received adequate media attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Referring to the AJK elections, Memon alleged that the <strong>PML-N was violating the election code of conduct<\/strong>, claiming that leaders of the federal and Punjab governments were actively present in <strong>Murree and Azad Kashmir<\/strong> during the election campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He expressed confidence that the <strong>Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)<\/strong> would win the AJK elections by a comfortable margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Criticizing the ruling party, Memon said, \u201cSitting on the seat of power through a <strong>fake mandate<\/strong> is no achievement. The PPP is governing on the basis of a genuine public mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He further stated that the PPP was <strong>not a coalition partner in the federal government<\/strong>, saying the party had extended support only for the sake of democratic stability. He added that a similar offer had previously been made to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sindh information minister also criticized what he described as unequal infrastructure development, alleging that <strong>motorways were being built even at the district level in Punjab<\/strong>, while <strong>Sindh had been deprived of motorway projects it rightfully deserved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI: Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has accused the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of violating the code of conduct for the upcoming Azad Jammu..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438594_8770876_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438594_8770876_updates-2-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438594_8770876_updates-2-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438594_8770876_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438594_8770876_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438594_8770876_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438594_8770876_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7161"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7163,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7161\/revisions\/7163"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
