Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Friday vehemently condemned the nefarious campaign of defaming state institutions, reiterating the government pledge to counter all such conspiracies and no compromise will be made on the dignity of state institutions.
According to Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi called on Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Friday and discussed political situation and south Punjab secretariat. MNA Zain Qureshi was also present. On the occasion, the CM emphasized that the institutions are respectable for all of us and it is deplorable that these are being tarnished under a specific agenda. Those trying to create chaos in the country are, in fact, following the enemy’s agenda and the opposition cannot befool the people.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi asserted that the government will continue to stand with the institutions and those engaged in a tirade against the institutions are not loyal to the nation. The opposition is trying to achieve its negative objectives by making the institutions controversial, he added. He said the establishment of south Punjab secretariat is an important step of the PTI government as the people of south Punjab were befooled in the past through hollow slogans. The past rulers used the funds meant for south Punjab’s development in their constituencies.
Meanwhile, the chief minister visited different areas of the city late at night and inspected the metro bus route from Qaddafi Stadium to Qurtaba Chowk. He expressed displeasure over the closure of lights at some metro stations and directed to keep the lights functional at metro bus route. He also directed that action be initiated against the staff responsible for this neglect.
SAPM USMAN DAR CALLS ON CM
Special Assistant to PM on Youth Affairs Usman Dar called on Chief Minister Usman Buzdar and discussed matters related to Kamyab Jawan Program and Tigers Force. The CM regretted opposition’s tirade against the state institutions is hurting national interest, adding that youth have been empowered by the PTI government to brighten the future of the country. The past rulers ignored the youth and no large investment was made for their empowerment as done in the incumbent tenure of the PTI, he added.
Usman Dar said the Kamyab Jawan Program is going on well while the Tigers Force is leading the mission of public service. The unnatural collusion of opposition parties will soon meet its logical end, he maintained. A prescient leader like Imran Khan is imperative for the survival of the country. On the other side, the opposition leaders have a corrupt past, he added.
CM ENQUIRES AFTER HEALTH OF CH. SHUJAAT Chief Minister Usman Buzdar visited Services Hospital to enquire after the health of PML-Q President Ch Shujaat Hussain. Usman Buzdar also prayed for his early recovery and directed doctors to provide best treatment facilities to him. The chief minister prayed that may Allah Almighty grant him a speedy recovery. He was accompanied by MNA and Provincial Minister Dr Akther Malik. MNA Salik Hussain and Shafay Hussain were also present on the occasion.
