Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Wednesday declared that the era of lip-service is over as the PTI government has been executing public welfare projects on war footings by rectifying past mistakes.
“The past governments transferred funds meant for South Punjab to other projects and as a result, the people of the region remained entangled in the quagmire of poverty and backwardness as they were deceived in the name of development.”
Chief Minister Sardar Usman was talking to MNA Makhdoom Syed Mubeen Ahmed, Parliamentary Secretary (Mines) Sardar Muhammad Ahmed Khan Nawaz Chandia, Makhdoom Syed Shah Jamal, Makhdoom Syed Safdar Bukhari, Wali Faqir, and Qazi Zafar Naveed at CM’s House here.
The chief minister emphasized the PTI government has given south Punjab the right to development and the dream of South Punjab secretariat has been materialized. “The model designs of Multan and Bahawalpur secretariats have been approved and the ADP of South Punjab will be evolved separately and the region’s budget will also be ring-fenced,” concluded the CM.
Meanwhile, different assembly members including Ghulam Ali Asghar Khan, Shahabuddin Khan, Ghazanfar Abbas, Taimoor Ali Lali, Bilal Asghar Warraich, Ahsan Jehangir, Ijaz Khan, Amir Anayat Shahani, Muhammad Ijaz Hussain, and Gulraiz Afzal Gondal called on Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar. They apprised the CM of problems being faced people in their constituencies. The CM said that those creating hurdles in process of development are not loyal to the nation and advised the opposition to shun negative politics after the APC fiasco.
There is no room for fulfilling opportunists’ agenda in the new Pakistan, he added and regretted that opposition always took advantage of lies and deceit. Save-corruption is the only agenda of the opposition and the politics of propaganda is their inherent policy, he added.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that 86 new corona cases have surfaced in Punjab during the last 24 hours and not a single patient has died of the virus during this period. In a statement, he said that the number of active corona patients is 1695 and 95449 patients have been recovered.
