Special Assistant to Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Friday said that the establishment of South Punjab Secretariat is part of the PTI agenda, which will be made fully functional without any obstruction.
Talking to the media, Dr Firdous said that those who are spreading distrust and misunderstanding regarding the South Punjab Secretariat have deceived the people during their tenure and exploited the rights of the people of South Punjab.
It is sanguine that an era of composite development has started under the leadership of CM Usman Buzdar and the credit goes to the PTI government that it has materialized the need of a South Punjab Secretariat, she said.
The SACM said that in the past, 17 per cent budget was appropriated for South Punjab but the PTI government has allocated 33 per cent budget for South Punjab and funds have been ring-fenced.
Dr Firdous regretted that the former rulers befooled the people of South Punjab through hollow slogans and maintained that South Punjab districts would have been developed if resources were not looted ruthlessly.
She said the past rulers built huge palaces in the name of public service and filled their coffers.
Nawaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar themselves fled to London and left behind Maryam Nawaz aka ‘queen of liars’ to create instability in the country through her treacherous narrative, she said.
The SACM said that public service is the main agenda of the PTI and the government is working hard to alleviate the deprivations of people living in remote areas and provide maximum facilities to the people of South Punjab.
She said the people of South Punjab have been given their rights for the first time and the government is fulfilling its promises made with the people.
Commenting on the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Daska by-election, the Special Assistant said the government respects the decision of the Supreme Court.
The people of Daska have decisively rejected the PML-N’s hereditary politics but the PML-N is not ready to accept its defeat, adding that the corrupt PML-N and fake princess will face defeat every time even if elections are held 100 times in Daska, she said.
Despite decades of rule, PML-N’s performance in NA-75 is shameful and unfortunately, people are still deprived of basic civic amenities hence, on what grounds the PML-N is claiming victory, she questioned.
The SACM said that following the Supreme Court verdict, the PML-N leaders are once again busy hatching a new conspiracy to win the by-election.
The fake princess will not be allowed to befool the nation again and run away on medical grounds, the SACM concluded.
