Praising the Muslim League-N’s tenure, the federal minister emphasized that the most significant progress in the Hazara region had been achieved under their leadership. He accused the PTI government of cutting funds for projects approved for the public’s welfare. However, he commended the past nine months of developmental work, ensuring the effective utilization of funds and the fulfilment of promises made to the public.
