Chief Minister Punjab, Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, discussed the prevailing fragile political situation with President PML-Z Ijazul Haq, MNA Sardar Awais Ahmad Leghari Chairman National Assembly standing committee for foreign affairs, who called on him here on Thursday.
Ijazul Haq, son of the late President Ziaul Haq is a family friend and political ally of Sharif brothers while Sardar Awais Ahmed Leghari, MNA from D.G. Khan is son of former President late Sardar Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari and a heavy weight politician of south Punjab.
Political observers noted that these discussions were held in the wake of demand by all opposition parties that Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, should resign after the damning JIT report against him and nominate another member of his party as leader of the house/Prime Minister to strengthen the democratic process.
It was not immediately known as to what these influential politicians had suggested to the ruling party's leadership. However CM Shahbaz said that the elements indulged in negative politics at the cost of public welfare and development of the country were doing enmity with the country.
"The sit-in party (PTI) conspired during the last four years to obstruct the speedy journey of development and prosperity but with the grace of Allah Almighty and public support, all these conspiracies have failed. They tried to create hurdles in the completion of gigantic CPEC.
He said chaos in the name of changing destiny of the country is against the national interest and the patriotic people of Pakistan have not become part of negative agenda of these political elements nor will they ever be. He said the government has achieved wonderful successes in every sector during the last four years under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and the country is more economically stable, peaceful and secure as compared to 2013.
Talking to Sardar Awais Leghari, the CM said that selfless service of the people is the attribute of PML -N government. During last four years Pakistan has made unprecedented development which has made the opponents unnerved. Billions of rupees have been saved by ensuring transparency, quality and speed in the development projects and baseless allegations against sincere leadership have no value.
He said he has been personally supervising the development and prosperity of the people of southern Punjab; more resources are reserved in the annual development program as compared to the population of southern Punjab.
Multan Metro Bus Project is a wonderful gift for the people of southern Punjab and plying of metro buses has provided latest and speedy transport facility of international standards to the citizens. The CM assured that PML-N government would continue to provide all sorts of resources for the development and prosperity of people of southern Punjab.
