In the past; from 2013 to 2018, special attention was paid to the development of the education and health sectors, and along with this, the budget for higher education and research was also increased manifold, he said. During this period, due to the strenuous efforts and commitment of Shehbaz Sharif as Chief Minister Punjab the number of out-of-school children had decreased significantly. After 2018, unfortunately, the budget of higher education was reduced? He said adding that there was marked decline in all sectors including economy.

On this occasion, the former members of the National and Provincial Assembly said that the incident of attacks on institutions and military installations by miscreants on May 9 was very sad and the darkest chapter in the history of the country.
