Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar on Saturday said the opposition parties were divided and also trying to make a conspiracy to divide the people but they would fail as people of the country had already rejected them in general elections.
Talking to the media after attending a seminar organized by Anjuman Ikhwan-e-Islam at Barki, the Governor said the PTI government neither got registered any case against opposition nor targeted anyone of political victimization. "It was right of opposition to stage peaceful protest demonstration but the law would come into force if anybody would try to take law into hands," he said, adding: "The government would fulfill its responsibilities by taking action against those who would create unrest and instability under the umbrella of protest, in order to protect peoples' lives and property."
To a question, Sarwar said that opposition had not organized any rally or March to express solidarity with Kashmiris and expose Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir, adding that now the opposition was deciding to stage a protest only to achieve their political interests. "The opposition should review its decision of protest as protest is not in favor of people and country", he asserted.
The Governor said that the PTI government under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan has taken comprehensive initiatives to steer the country out of economic crisis, adding that owing to effective and efficient economic policies of the PTI government, the trade deficit has been decreased to 35 percent, whereas the wealth reserves have also been stable besides extending the tax net, he added.
Sarwar also announced to set up water filtration plants free of cost by Sarwar Foundation at Anjuman Ikhwan-e-Islam College and said that Punjab Aab Pak Authority was working for provision of clean drinking water to the people. He said that PTI government would introduce a comprehensive policy regarding uniform education system besides other curriculum related arrangements in the country to meet the challenges in education sector.
