Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Wednesday claimed that the opposition parties’ threat to tender resignations from National and provincial assemblies is merely a political stunt.
Firdous Ashiq Awan, in a tweet on Wednesday, said that rejected group of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) leaders is using their party lawmakers as a shield to protect their looted wealth.
The CM’s aide said that the movement to protect corruption is bound to fail.
Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Minister Usman Buzdar public welfare projects worth billions of rupees have been started in the province. In a statement issued on Wednesday, she said that the government is serving the masses whereas opposition is spreading corona. The people of Pakistan are now aware of the corrupt politicians. The mentally sick leaders of opposition should care for the innocent people and stop playing with their lives. She said it is time to fight corona but the opposition is unable to understand the severity of the situation. She said that 613 confirmed cases have been reported and 24 patients have died in Punjab during the last 24 hours and a total of 3242 patients have died in Punjab. The situation is critical but the opposition is doing sheer enmity with the people by holding public meetings. PDM leaders are mentally paralyzed that is why they are playing with the lives of the innocent people.
Meanwhile, the SACM said that Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has announced new projects worth Rs17 billion for Sialkot. Addressing a ceremony, Usman Buzdar said that the government was initiating the development projects worth billions of rupees to facilitate the masses and to improve their living standards in the city.
He said that the provincial government will soon set up a new industrial state comprising 10,00 acres of land in Sialkot. The chief minister said that a new 500-bed Mother & Child Hospital will be established at a cost of Rs5 billion in the city. He said that the prime minister will inaugurate the hospital during his next visit to the city. The chief minister also congratulated the people on the inauguration of AirSial today. He vowed to provide free healthcare coverage to the entire population of the province by 2021.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Imran Khan had said that Sialkot was going to become an even bigger export hub of Pakistan.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of AirSial, the premier had expressed the hope that the city’s business community will run the airline like it has been running the Sialkot airport, creating a competitive environment for other airlines, including PIA, to improve their service.
