Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in a meeting with the Federal Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal, here Friday, said the people of all the provinces including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir will equally benefit from the CPEC related projects. During the meeting, different matters of mutual interest including steps taken for eradication of terrorism, overall situation in the country and ongoing political issues came under discussion. Sources said that matters concerning CPEC projects also came under discussion and it was resolved that no conspiracy will ever be allowed to be succeeded against the CPEC.
Both the leaders expressed their satisfaction over the positive steps taken for bringing improvement in general situation of law & order in the province. Shahbaz said on the occasion that the CPEC has opened the doors of foreign investment to Pakistan and it will also play an important role for the elimination of terrorism and fanaticism in the region along with helping to overcome the poverty. He expressed the commitment that CPEC Project will alter the course of history and vowed that no conspiracy will ever be allowed to be succeeded against it. He said, "It is the best time to maintain solidarity because the country will move forward with the power of unity. The terrorism, fanaticism and sectarianism are not the fate of the people and in a Pakistan of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, there is no room for such societal menaces."
He maintained that Pakistani nation has rendered tremendous sacrifices in war against terrorism and the commitment and passion of the nation is much bigger than the challenge of terrorism. It is satisfying that the well-coordinated implementation on national action plan has broken the proverbial backbone of the terrorists, he said. Shahbaz said that Pakistan will be made a heaven of peace by decisively defeating the menace of terrorism and every person will have to play its role to maintain law & order in the country.
Moreover, talking to members of the assembly belonging to different districts, Shahbaz said that present tenure of PML-N government is filled with records of institutional transparency, public service and honesty. This promotion of transparency by the incumbent government has also been acknowledged at the global level, he said, adding: "The PML-N government has taken effective measures for the eradication of corruption and this has been commended by international organizations as well." According to him, the Punjab government has set a new record by making a unique saving of Rs 682 billion in different projects and no such example is available in the 70 years history of the country. The PML-N government is most transparent in the national history and it has always done the politics of public service. Shahbaz said that a particular party tried to impede the journey of development through sit-in, lockdown and agitation. This party has done nothing for public welfare in its province and due to it; the leaders of this party cannot face the people in their province.
He said the people are fed up with the elements involved in the politics of anarchy and chaos and those who are obstructing the process of national development. In fact, the politics of allegations and falsehood has died down before records of public service, honesty and transparency. Due to the politics of honesty and organizational transparency, the PML-N government is most popular in the masses, he said. Those who called on the Chief Minister included MNAs Nadeem Abbas Rabera and Raja Muhammad Javed Akhlas and MPA Sardar Muhammad Jamal Leghari.
