‘Imran Khan should avoid hypocrisy, stop telling lies’

LAHORE: Spokesperson of the  Punjab government Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan, in response to a statement of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief, on Wednesday said that Imran Khan should “avoid hypocrisy and stop telling lies” because the Punjab government had set up dozens of hospitals in the province.

“On the other hand, the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) are disappointed in Imran Khan owing to his lies,” he said and added that Punjab was not only providing best healthcare facilities to its people but a large number of patients from KP were also benefiting from the hospitals of Rawalpindi, Bhakkar and Multan.

“The Punjab government has uplifted and improved the quality of 170 hospitals and a sum of Rs262 billion has been provided to the health department this year,” he said.

“Had Imran Khan given any attention to the matters pertaining to his province, KP would have developed like Punjab,” said the spokesman.

He also said that Imran Khan could not hide his poor performance by telling lies and the whole country was a witness to the fact that network of development projects had been spread across Punjab.

“Punjab government’s performance was also acknowledged by foreign ambassadors and international organisations,” he said and added that Imran Khan had used politics to level baseless allegations while politics was the name of selfless public service.

“Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ensured speedy completion of development projects while maintaining transparency as well as quality,” he concluded.
