While welcoming the Turkish President's address to the joint session of the Parliament, Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Friday said that Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won our hearts by, again, supporting the stance of Pakistan over the core issue of Kashmir and it's a victory of Pakistan.

"The Turkish President highlighted the emotions of 220 million people of Pakistan by announcing to side with Pakistan," he said, adding: "We are also thankful to the Turkish President for his unwavering support of Pakistan at FATF."

The bilateral relationship between the two countries is superior to any mundane interest and the people of both countries are conjoined in the relation of love, brotherhood and affection, he said in a statement. The visit of Turkish President to Pakistan shows the growing friendship between the two countries and this visit would further boost the bilateral relations, he added.

Sardar Usman Buzdar said: "It is sanguine that both the countries are moving side by side in the journey of development and prosperity. Both Pakistan and Turkey have consensus viewpoint on different regional and international issues and hearts of the people also beat in unison.

Moreover, the CM has ordered to take strict action against those responsible for artificial price hike in the province.

The CM directed that action against hoarders and illegal profiteers should be continued without succumbing to any pressure. The administration should go to the field for controlling prices as no relief could be given to the citizens while sitting in the offices, he said.

Sale of essential items should be ensured on fixed rates and legal formalities should also be fulfilled by registering FIRs against hoarders and illegal profiteers; directed the CM.

He further directed the price control magistrates to check the prices of essential items on a daily basis. Those involved in price hike are malefactors of the society as well as the law and line departments should play their role in stabilizing prices of daily use items, he emphasized.

The chief minister stressed that the rights of the consumers will be fully protected and added that the number of Kissan platforms has been increased from 82 to 92 in different districts to facilitate the citizens. The people can't be left at the mercy of hoarders and illegal profiteers and there is no room for them in the province, concluded the chief minister.
