Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar in a meeting with Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, here Saturday discussed matters concerning the country's political situation and setting up of Southern Punjab Secretariat.

Buzdar said that the people of Southern Punjab were given false hope through political promises and former rulers utilized the funds of Southern Punjab in their respective constituencies. "The PTI government will fulfill all its promises made with the people of Southern Punjab and they will get their due rights and every district, city and village will be included in the process of development," he said, adding: "The government is fully focused for bringing backward areas at par with development."

Buzdar further maintained that all the administrative preparations regarding establishing of Southern Punjab Secretariat are completed and promise made with people in this regard will be fulfilled. Under 'Access to Village Project,' roads of rural areas will be repaired and constructed; new hospitals, colleges and universities will be set up in Southern Punjab, he said.

Moreover, the CM in his message on the occasion on 'World Women Day' said: "Empowering to the women is the mission of PTI government and historic steps have been taken in this regard for the elimination of gender discrimination, safeguarding the rights of women and giving them socio-economic empowerment; Day-care centres have been set up for facilitating the working women in public-private institutes in Punjab."

He said that provision of resources for empowering the women is a beneficial investment for setting up of enlightened society. "No society can move forward without proper participation of women in life; Pakistani women are hard-working and capable and earned the name in different sectors and the government will make women of backward areas economically and socially strong," he said.
