Former Punjab governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar on Saturday said that the 17-month-long governorship was the most ‘painful’ period of his life.
Addressing a ceremony, Chaudhry Sarwar said that corruption has permeated into politicians and its cure is only possible through a surgical operation, “not by aspirin”.
He regretted that he could not help the needy during his governorship, despite a strong will to do that. Sarwar said that the current government seems to have failed in resolving public issues.
“The government, which could not perform in a hundred days, can turn no stones in its five years tenure,” he added.
