Islamabad: (Parliament Times) Lambasting the ruling elite’s alienation and apathy towards public issues, the JI chief senator Siraj-ul-Haq has said that the successive rulers have miserably failed to provide the provision of health-care, education, safe drinking water and other basic amenities to the common masses.

Speaking on the occasion senator Siraj-ul-Haq said that rulers didn’t pay any attention towards the education because their own children seek education from abroad. “The government-run education institutions are at the brink of disaster, education is no longer a priority of the rulers, they just come here to rule, they have established their businesses and bank balances out side Pakistan”, Haq said adding that they (rulers) even fly abroad to seek medical treatment.
