Talking to elected representatives from different districts on Tuesday, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif claimed that those staging sit-ins had hatched an “evil conspiracy” to hamper the process of national development and prosperity.
MNA Obaid Ullah Khan Shadikhel, MPA Amanat Ullah Khan Shadikhel, former MPA Ali Noor Khan Niazi, MPA Sheikh Ijaz Ahmed, MPA Rana Shoaib Idrees Khan from Faisalabad, MPA Mian Muhammad Rafique from Toba Tek Singh and MPA Muhammad Azam Chaila from Jhang had called on the CM.
Addressing the meeting, Shahbaz said that sit-ins had met their political death and the nation had known who was serving the country selflessly and who was engaged in politics of chaos. He said that masses would not allow the nefarious designs of the enemies of progress and development to succeed. He said that there was a need for a new spirit, determination and commitment to make up the losses caused by sit-ins.
The chief minister said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government was implementing a comprehensive programme for the welfare and uplift of the people of the province and development projects aimed at provision of basic amenities to the masses are being completed expeditiously. He said that process of public service was continuing and Punjab would be made an exemplary province with regard to development and prosperity.
The chief minister said that an effective monitoring system has been evolved for the implementation of development projects in a transparent manner so as to check wastage of public money. He said that Punjab government was introducing revolutionary reforms for the development of education, health and other social sectors.
He said that target of increase in growth rate has been fixed to raise the living standard of the people and special attention is being paid to the uplift of backward areas. He said that more resources have been allocated for South Punjab districts than the ratio of their population. He said that reforms were also been introduced for improving efficiency of provincial departments and provision of better services to the masses while information technology was also being used for this purpose.
