With the restoration of Pakistan Muslim League-N government in Punjab, Shahbaz Sharif is burgeoning to fulfil his unfinished agenda of public welfare with priority to maintain law and order situation in the province.
Shahbaz Sharif is among the rare lucky political leaders who has got third chance to complete unfinished agenda of making Punjab an educated, developed, prosperous and forward looking province. Shahbaz mercurial during the past 24 hours indicates that reincarnated Sharif is a man in hurry who means business.
He is showing great amount of determination to come up to the expectations of people. Shahbaz is considered as a very good administrator and political analysts believe that he wants to deliver and come up to the expectations of masses.
Shahbaz Sharifs "Saasti Roti Scheme" proved a feather in his cap and he gained unmatched popularity by announcing and then implementing it in the province. He played on this wicket very smartly again and wasted no time in announcing to ensure more cheap bread for the masses in his short address to the workers. "We will ensure availability of Roti for Re 1.00 ahead," he announced, which was followed by thumping approval by his audience.
Shahbaz went on making another big announcement when he announced on Wednesday a status of English medium to all educational institutions running into the public sector. Before disqualification, Shahbaz had already taken a number of initiatives in education sector and also launched Endowment Fund. Health is already on top of Shahbazs political agenda and free medicine to the people of Punjab is being pursued by his team and health department.
However, maintaining the law and order situation could be a Herculean task for him ahead. Especially, the people in the provincial metropolis in particular are panicked with two terrorist incidents in last few weeks. According to the political circles, Shahbaz Sharif has to focus on maintaining law and order situation, as dealing with the terrorist groups is much greater task than getting rid of the absconders.
Analysts maintained that reinstatement of Shahbaz Sharif, as Chief Minister Punjab will help stabilise country as well as its economy. Nevertheless, it will help reduce tensions between ruling coalition and the PML-Nawaz, which will be a blessing for common man. They were of the view that political stability will give government a chance to focus on economy and deteriorating law and order situation.
If government and opposition moved cautiously, it will not only help change countrys perception abroad but it will also help enhance confidence of donors. It may be mentioned that soon after resuming responsibilities as Chief Minister on Tuesday evening, Shahbaz Sharif chaired a meeting on law and order situation and issued strict directions to authorities concerned for fulfilling their responsibilities efficiently to protect the life and property of citizens.
He also paid a surprise visit to Ganga Ram Hospital and inquired after the patients at emergency, medical and surgical wards. He inquired from the patients about the provision of free medicines, upon which, he was informed that medicines are being provided according to his policy of provision of free medicines.
