Punjab Governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar on Tuesday said that the opposition is in danger due to its own corruption while stressing that the government will complete its tenure.
The governor held a meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leaders including Punjab Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid, Punjab Industries and Trade Minister Mian Aslam Iqbal, PTI Punjab President Punjab Ejaz Chaudhary, Adviser to Chief Minister Dr Salman Shah, Nadeem Abbas Bara, Usman Basra and Zubair Niazi.
Chaudhry Sarwar said it was the decision of 22 crore people to hold accountability of those who committed acts of corruption. The opposition was not a well wisher of the nation as it created hindrances in the national progress, he remarked.
The Punjab governor stressed that the PTI government has not filed a single case against the opposition and the political opponents had lodged them against each other in the past.
The former leaders caused damage to the national exchequer in the name of democracy whereas PTI is fighting for the country’s sovereignty and no compromise will be made on principles, Chaudhry Sarwar affirmed.
He said that during their respective tenures in government, the PML-N and PPP had used to drain out national exchequer and today, when held accountable for their massive corruption, they resort to unjustified criticism against the government. But they (opposition) can no more befool the nation as Prime Minister Imran Khan made it clear in categorical terms that there will be no compromise on accountability process and we are fighting for survival of the country and the nation by ensuring merit and transparency in every field.
Talking to lawyers’ delegation, the governor said that besides judiciary, the lawyer community also has an eminent role in dispensation of justice. The government under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan is all supportive to the judiciary for ensuring speedy and inexpensive justice and all possible measures are being taken for this purpose. He assured that federal and Punjab governments will fulfill its responsibilities to resolve problems of the lawyers.
