Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Sunday said those interrupting the path to prosperity for farmers, labourers and the common man were not sincere to the masses.
Talking to various delegations, he said that opposing public welfare projects was akin to opposing progress for the poor and downtrodden.
Elements involved in negative politics of sit-ins and destruction were not interested in the development of the country, or the welfare of the citizens, he added.
He said major decisions had been taken by the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif to strengthen the economy and cope with challenges. These efforts were producing positive results.
Due to effective policies, he said, the economy was stabilising and economic indicators were improving. Poverty, unemployment and load shedding would be eliminated thereby ushering a revolution for national progress and prosperity, he added.
Shahbaz said that services for the masses and improvement in the living standards of poor people were the cornerstones of the politics practiced by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). Billions of rupees saved from projects are being spent on changing the socio-economic condition of the common man, he added.
The CM said that the government was working round the clock to resolve the energy crisis. Power projects were being completed expeditiously and for the first time in the country’s history, coal-based energy projects were being set up. The Bhikki power plant would be a trendsetter and pave the way for gas-based energy projects, he added.
