Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari on Tuesday clarified that the Punjab government was not allocating funds to any Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA).
In a press statement issued here, she said the government had saved 530 billion rupees for the people of Punjab by discontinuing unnecessary schemes. She made these remarks in response to Miftah Ismails statement alleging the distribution of funds to MPAs. Azma Bokhari emphasised that there was no practice of utilising government funds for political interests in Punjab and assured that such practices would not be allowed in the future. She expressed disappointment over Miftah Ismails statement, considering it irresponsible and unexpected from someone of his stature.
