Chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif has said that Asif Ali Zardari has plundered 6.5 billion rupees of the nation and this amount is struck up in Swiss banks. This amount belongs to some of the poorest people he said and added, "If NAB wants to serve the nation then it should bring back this money of Zardari and hand it over to the nation and hold Zardari accountable for it."
"If this corrupt person is not held accountable then Pakistan will not move forward," he maintained. The country will become the Pakistan of Quaid and Iqbal when indiscriminate accountability of the corrupt is carried out. The CM inaugurated the Langarwala Pattan-Sahiwal high-level bridge on the Jhelum River in Sargodha constructed at a cost of Rs 3 billion to interconnect 2, 7 million population of Sargodha and Khushab districts. Distance between adjoining areas including Sargodha, Khushab, Mianwali and Bhakkar has been reduced due to the construction of this vital connectivity. It is expected that new bridge will also boost socio-economic activities and access to hospitals and educational institutions will become easier.
Addressing a public gathering at Sahiwal Tehsil stadium in Sargodha afterwards, the Chief Minister said that Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had promised in 2013 that darkness of load-shedding would be removed; the PML-N government had worked very hard to cope with the energy crisis and made an investment of many hundred billion rupees in the energy projects to produce ten thousand megawatts more electricity.
Recounting his government's ten years achievements the Chief Minister said that Punjab government has decreased fertilizer prices and generous subsidy has also been provided by federal and Punjab governments; thousands of kilometres long carpeted roads have been constructed in villages with an amount of Rs85 billion. Farmers are getting cheap electricity due to decrease in electricity rates for agriculture and tube-wells.
