LAHORE: Criticizing the previous PML-N government’s loot and plunder on public resources, Special Assistant to Chief Minister Punjab on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said on Wednesday that hefty amount of Rs680 million were spent for renovation of state rest house Murree where common visitor admission was banned by the then ruling elite.

Talking to media, she said all rejected political parties had gathered at the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) to safeguard their personal interest as they were least interested in resolving problems of the people.

She said the public money was mercilessly wasted on renovation of state rest houses just to entertain themselves and families. She, however, said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government envisioned by Prime Minister Imran Khan was proactively working for the promotion of the tourism sector and to make it an industry for revenue generation besides creating job opportunities.

Dr Firdous said a visible difference between the previous and the present government was that unlike past practices the rest houses were now opened for the general public and it was a true depiction of ‘Naya Pakistan’.

Regarding indictment of PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif in corruption, money laundering and assets beyond means cases, she said Shehbaz was used to say that not a single penny corruption was committed by him but he had been indicted in the cases on the basis of evidences.

She said the Punjab government under leadership of Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar was celebrating Rehmat-ul-lil-Alameen (PBUH) Week with religious fervor and a series of events would be organized by various government institutions, departments and educational institutions to pay homage to Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
