People are interested in development, not in empty slogans: CM

LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday said that people have no concern with empty slogans, hollow claims and negative politics as they are interested in national development and solution of their problems.

He expressed these views while talking to different delegations in London , said a handout issued.

“Imran Niazi has promoted the negative culture of deceit and falsehood in the politics and these elements have tried to hoodwink the people at every occasion with their mendacity but the conscious people of Pakistan have failed every negative strategy of the sit-in group,” the CM said.

The chief minister iterated that the time has come that torch-bearers of falsehood should realise facts in the broader interest of the country. Everyone will have to be united to heal the wounds of the people and collective efforts are needed to make the country great, the CM advised.

He said, “We will continue to move further without caring for the promoters of politics of falsehood to develop the country.”

Those who wasted precious time of the nation with their negative politics got nothing in reward except regrets, he said while adding that his party has not let the journey of public development stop despite the impediments of sit-ins.

The chief minister said that faces of people trying to obstruct the development process by spreading chaos have been exposed and 22 crore people will forever bury the negative politics of such elements in next elections.

He said that improving the quality of life was our agenda while a prosperous and self-reliant Pakistan is our destination. The CM said that makers of new Pakistan with empty slogans have done nothing except spreading deprivations in the masses and their politics was moving around baseless allegations and crudity.

Imran Niazi is known as a record-making politician of U-turns, he alleged while explaining that a politician who keeps on changing his stance again and again has no ability to lead the nation.

He said that corrupt rulers of the past who made the nation a hostage of darkness will have to be answerable to the nation. Those involved in loot and plunder in the past have committed cruelty with the poor nation, he added.

He said that these rulers have committed criminal negligence by delaying energy projects and the people have not forgotten the mega corruption scandals of corrupt rulers of the past.
