Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said the incumbent government will complete its constitutional term, adding that the opposition will withdraw its long march call like the threat of resignations. The CM said the PDM was striving for an NRO; however, they will not get it in the presence of PM Imran Khan.
Usman Buzdar was talking to Provincial Forest Minister Muhammad Sibtain Khan, who called on him at his office and discussed matters of mutual interest. After its defeat in the federal government, the opposition will also remain unsuccessful in Punjab and no effort of staging a political circus would be successful, he added.
The CM said that protection of personal interests was the real agenda of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), adding that their movement was directionless. He made it clear that the political cabal could not hoodwink people because citizens preferred development and prosperity. Those creating hurdles in the journey of development would get nothing, he added.
Sibtain Khan said that the CM had promoted the politics of trust, honesty and decency and he was ever ready for solution to problems of the elected representatives. The corrupt politicians would remain unsuccessful in the presence of PM Imran Khan, he stressed. The PDM ignored national interest and its hollow claims of giving respect to vote had died a natural death, he added.
Ghulam Bibi Bharwana MNA called on Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar at his office to discuss development schemes and other matters.
Talking on the occasion, the CM emphasised that every backward district will prosper as a separate development package will be given to it. The PTI government can be credited for making concerted efforts for overcoming the backwardness of remote areas, he maintained. Meanwhile, the CM regretted that the PDM is apathetic to national development and emphasised that the assorted alliance will not be allowed to hinder the journey of development. Regrettably, the opposition weakened the national interest and its worth is also zero, he said. The opposition tried to politicise important issues and played a negative role, the CM lamented. He said the opposition is bent upon creating fuss from day one and those making tall claims have also been exposed. The opposition parties lack a strategy for public welfare, he maintained. Meanwhile, the people are fed up with the negative politics of politicians having dual faces, he said. On the other side, PTI feels the pain of the poor and time has proved that the timely decisions of the incumbent government yielded positive results in the shape of strengthening the economy, he added.
Ghulam Bibi Bharwana stated that the CM has always given respect to the parliamentarians and solved public problems. Every conspiracy of the opposition will be failed in Punjab in the presence of CM Usman Buzdar, she added.
Law Minister Raja Basharat called on Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar at his office to discuss the political situation and public interest legislation. Both also discussed the overall law & order situation and steps taken for the protection of life and property of the people.
The CM directed to take every possible measure to maintain the law & order and added that no stone should be left unturned in this regard. The supremacy of law should be maintained at every cost as no violation will be tolerated, he stressed.
The CM maintained that the opposition remained busy in aimless agitation while the PTI government diligently served the masses. The PDM leadership has lost its credibility and those claiming of holding long marches will face defeat because the people will not become part of any attempt to hinder the development process, he stressed. Meanwhile, PM Imran Khan has introduced a new trend of transparency and the government will continue to move forward for achieving the goal of a new Pakistan, the CM concluded.
The Law Minister said that every step has been taken to ensure the supremacy of law adding that more steps will also be taken. Meanwhile, the opposition should avoid dividing the nation, he added.
