Pivot of PML-N government is service to people, says Shehbaz

Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said on Sunday that the government of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) believes in a selfless service to the people and the aim of the politics of PML-N is public service, progress and prosperity of the country.

He said that the elected government is working round the clock for resolving the problems of the masses and a lot of work has been done for the improvement of every sector during the last three years. However, some political elements once again are trying to create hurdles in public welfare projects only for the sake of their vested interests, he added.

Sharif said that defeated political elements are again out to stop the speedy development process of the country through container politics. He said that the nation has become aware of these elements that they have no interest in the welfare of the masses. The chief minister said that now when the country has been put on the road to progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, some political elements have again come out to create hurdles in the way of development.

He said that conscious people of Pakistan were neither hoodwinked in the past nor will they be hoodwinked in the future by these political elements. He said that decisions are not made on roads, but in the parliament.  Despite the negative politics of sit-ins and chaos, the mission of public service will be fulfilled at every cost, he assured.

The chief minister, while talking to elected representatives of PML-N, said that all out resources are being spent transparently on programmes of progress and prosperity of the people and provision of basic facilities to them. He said that PML-N government has introduced the culture of completion of development projects with transparency, quality and speed and a third party audit has been made compulsory in this regard which has resulted in the promotion of transparency in the implementation of the projects.

“Mega projects have been completed in education, health, infrastructure and other sectors of social development throughout the province and people are benefitting from them,” he said, and added, “A number of programmes are continuing successfully for the welfare of poor segments of the society and provision of relief to the poor families.”

He said that PML-N government will meet the expectations of the people and honour all the promises made to them. The CM said that the federal and Punjab governments have set a new tradition by saving billions of rupees in development projects, which is unprecedented in the history of the country. He said that round the clock work is being carried out on Orange Line Metro Project in the provincial metropolis of Lahore. Completion of this project will result in the availability of modern travelling facilities of international standard to the masses, he added. The chief minister said that some political opponents are scared of development projects continuing for the welfare of the people. He said these elements are afraid that with the completion of ongoing development projects their politics will end.

He said that pivot of PML-N government is service to the people and timely completion of development projects. Those indulging in politics of protest will never succeed in their futile efforts, he affirmed.
