Says PM to address public meeting in Mandi Bahanddin today
Prime Minister Imran Khan is scheduled to address a public meeting here today Friday as people of the area wanted to see and thank him for giving a remarkable development packages, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib has said.
Talking to media, he said it would be a historic public gathering for which all arrangements had been finalized and people of the area were looking forward to give a warm welcome to their beloved leader Imran Khan. Farrukh said the government had initiated a number of development projects, including establishment of a public sector university, in the area.
He said a mass-mobilizing vibe would trigger from Mandi Bahauddin as was seen during the political struggle of PM Imran Khan in which he held mammoth and crowd-pulling gatherings. The minister said the opposition, in an attempt to emulate the prime minister for pulling same size of crown in public gatherings, had launched a movement and vowed a politics of ‘now and never’ in the convention held at Minar-e-Pakistan, Lahore.
Their movement did not only receive a lukewarm response from the public, but their leaders also got humiliated and resorted to beseeching and entreating for the survival of their politics, he added. He said the PML-N was in the habit of using power against their opponents while being in the government; otherwise they fell on the feet of their adversaries for political benefits.
Citing the PML-N president’s meetings with their political opponents, he said now Shehbaz was not only at the feet of Pakistan Peoples Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, but also went to the Chaudhry House after several years for inquiring after the health of Chaudhry Shujaat. Terming the opposition ‘a group of blackmailers’, he said it had been hatching conspiracies against the democratically elected government.
Their blackmailing against the government would not work as the prime minister was committed to recover the looted national wealth after sending the corrupt politicians into jail.
