Federal Minister for Defence Production Rana Tanvir Hussain on Monday called on Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and discussed different matters of mutual interest including political issues and public welfare projects.
Shahbaz Sharif, who is also the President of Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N), said the government has given priority to welfare of public while the political opponents wasted their time.
He said the number of development projects completed during present tenure of PML-N, which is a new record. However, the opponents have set records of speaking lies, he said. The ruling party's development schemes are a conspicuous example of transparency, standard and speed. People will always remember the politics of public service rendered by the PML-N government, he said.
"Presently, the PML-N is the most popular and the largest political party due to its public service," the chief minister said, adding the opponents realized that they have wasted time of the people in their respective provinces.
"Our government has always succeeded before the people and we shall go to them with our heads high during the next general elections."
He said that the people will hold accountability of those who have looted the national resources and impeded the journey of development. The CM said those who ignored the people in their provinces will be hiding their faces in the general elections. One political party has ruined the KPK while the other played havoc with the province of Sindh.
He said the people had given them a mandate to serve but they ignored the masses. Opposition of development schemes is, in fact, tantamount to enmity with the masses. Those who were responsible for delay in development schemes due to sit-ins have no concern with the future of people, he added. He said these elements have increased the problems of the people with their negative politics, adding that opponents of public welfare projects will have to pay the price for it. "These elements will face public wrath in the elections," he hoped.
"Like by-elections, the people will reject them in the upcoming general elections as well," the CM said. Due to the merciless plunder of national resources by corrupt rulers of the past, the country has plunged into the abyss of poverty, unemployment and ignorance, he added.
These are the people who pushed the country toward darkness and they had only filled their pockets instead of utilizing the resources on public welfare projects. Had these people not looted national resources, the country would have not faced problems to such extent, the chief minister said.
"We believe that merit is the only ladder of development and success and the government has taken practical steps for collective wellbeing and prosperity of the people," he said, adding that sincere efforts made by the government are bearing fruits. If an opportunity will be given to the PML-N in the next general elections, the journey of development that has started from Punjab will be extended across the country, he concluded.
