He vowed that the journey of serving masses will be continued despite criticism. The lawmakers expressed their confidence in the policies and leadership of the chief minister.
In July, as many as 15 lawmakers of the Punjab Assembly hailing from Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had decided to go against the party directives to refrain from meeting Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar and announced to improve relations with government functionaries in the province.
“We are only accountable to the people of our constituency,” said the 15 provincial lawmakers who had announced to defy the party directives during a meeting in Lahore after they were issued show-cause notices over meeting the chief minister.
“Meeting chief minister of the province is not a crime that show-cause notices were issued to us,” they had said and announced that they should not be held accountable for the crimes committed by the party leadership.
We will not hesitate to go to anyone for the betterment of our constituencies, they said and urged the party leadership to refrain from imposing restrictions that are against the public interest. The lawmakers who had met at a farmhouse in the provincial capital included Mian Jaleel Ahmed, Nishat Khan Daha, Muhammad Ghiyas-ud-Din and others.
