Special Assistant to Chief Minister Punjab for Information and Spokesperson Punjab Government Hasaan Khawar has said that unlike the former governments, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has increased the country’s revenue through austerity measures and efficient economic reforms. He said that the Opposition’s politics revolves around negativity, conspiracies and deals, turning a blind eye from flourishing economy and the government’s public welfare schemes.
He also said that amendments and improvements in the current governance model are part of the PTI’s manifesto and the vision of the Prime Minister Imran Khan. In the journey of fulfilling this vision, Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has introduced revolutionary measures in education, health, local government system, police and other important institutions. On the direction of the Chief Minister of Punjab, reforms were also introduced in the Revenue department on priority basis.

He said that these 4,000 rural revenue centers, being completed five months before their given date of completion, were a gift from the Chief Minister of Punjab to the people of Punjab.
