Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif said on Friday that if they continued working with zeal, commitment, passion and hard work, Pakistan shall surpass Modi's India after five years. Talking to media after inauguration of the revamped DHQ Hospital Narowal, Shahbaz said Zardari Sahib is in Dubai now-a-days. "I pray that he may return back soon to take part in elections and enjoy public reception," he said. "Zardari Sahib, you have devastated Sindh. Billions of rupees have been spent on development schemes in late Bhutto's city of Larkana but despite that the city is in shambles."
Shahbaz said opponents call him as 'Showbaz'; alleging that I only construct roads and bridges and have no interest in health and education. Imran Niazi used to claim that they will not develop jangla bus and roads in KPK but instead health and educational institutions will be developed. But Niazi has failed to set up any quality medical university, state-of-the-art pathology lab, new colleges or hospitals there. He has given attention to jangla bus at the last leg of his tenure and the whole city of Peshawar has been turned upside down under the garb of this project.
He said Niazi Sahib termed me as more dangerous than Nawaz Sharif. "Yes, I may be dangerous because I developed hospitals and educational institutions for the benefit of the indigent strata. I also took necessary steps for providing best of the best facilities to the people, he said. "Niazi Sahib, I have arranged coaching for you in 36 districts of the province. You should come here and we will educate you about setting up new development schemes."
Shahbaz said that power projects have been installed in Punjab province but their electricity is being provided to the whole of the country. This is the gist of national service and nations are developed this way.
He disclosed that CCI meeting had decided to give 300 megawatts electricity to Punjab from 700 megawatt and approval was accorded by the then prime minister Yousaf Raza Gillani but the decision was not implemented and the Sindh government took stay order from the High Court which was an illegal step. "We have installed power projects in Punjab with our own resources and their electricity is being provided to Sindh and other parts of the country. Zardari Sahib we don't think like you as national interest is dearer to us and all other things are of secondary importance," Shahbaz said.
Earlier, the chief minister also inaugurated mobile health units for Narowal and Sialkot districts and handed over the keys to the deputy commissioners. He also visited various sections of the hospital and inquired after the health of the patients. He said due to holistic healthcare reforms, same medicines are provided to the ordinary patients which are accessible to elite of the society, adding that ordinary people have equal rights over quality healthcare facilities.
Shahbaz Sharif also visited Moza Phaghwari Musalmana in Shakargarh and met with the family of Rangers' Lance Neik Muhammad Shahid Minhas who embraced martyrdom due to unprovoked firing of the Indian army at the working boundary. He extended his heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family and prayed Fateha for the departed soul. He also announced financial aid of Rs 2.5 million for the family of the Shahid and said that children of Lance Neik Muhammad Shahid Minhas will be given free education and the Punjab government will also provide them free treatment facilities.
