–Minister says govt to continue journey of progress

Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Baligh-ur-Rehman said on Sunday the PML-N-led government would continue journey of progress as per the vision of Nawaz Sharif.

Talking to the media here at Regional Campus of Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) before laptops distribution ceremony, he said, “Although, there are numerous challenges, however Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and his cabinet were fully empowered and they would continue to work with more zeal.

The government would continue to seek guidance from Nawaz Sharif, he said. He said that change of prime minister had shaken confidence of investors as downward trend was witnessed at stock market, however, new prime minister would continue policies of Nawaz Sharif and work with more dedication for the development of the country.

Baligh said that Nawaz Sharif left the premiership soon after verdict of the Supreme Court as he (Nawaz Sharif) always honoured the verdict of the apex court. However, Pakistan Muslim League-N would file review petition against the verdict of the court, he added.

The federal minister criticised leadership of PTI and stated that PTI leadership did not appear before Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) or courts as they never honoured Election Commission or courts and was termed absconder by courts, he alleged.

Responding a query about Ayesha Gulalai’s allegations, he said that she levelled allegations of serious nature and the government formed special committee as women parliamentarians of all political parties were demanding inquiry into the matter.

He distributed laptops to among 170 students of Allama Iqbal Open University, who fulfill eligibility criteria of merit set by the varsity. He informed that school enrolment campaign was yielding successful results in all provinces especially in Punjab. He stated that practical steps could bring change only instead of levelling false allegations at container.

The incumbent government’s measures brought immense transparency in almost all the departments, he said and added the country had successfully overpowered different crises including electricity loadshedding, terrorism and economic issues.

He stated that opposition always criticised government’s mega projects, such as Metro Bus Project was best project as it was facilitating low income people. AIOU Vice Chancellor Dr Shahid Siddique, teachers and large number of students were also present.
