Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that all the people should collectively work for national development and prosperity as the country cannot afford any chaos and anarchy. According to a message received here, Shahbaz expressed these views while talking to a delegation of workers and office-bearers of Pakistan Muslim League-N in London on Monday.
He said the government is pursuing a comprehensive strategy of alleviating poverty and creating more job opportunities in the province. Interest-free loans are being provided through Chief Minister's Self Employment Scheme and hundreds and thousands of families have benefited from this useful scheme till today.
Shahbaz maintained that efforts will have to be continuously made till the last breathe to make the country prosperous and stabilized. "The people cannot be cajoled through hollow slogans and the false claimants of change have done nothing except wasting precious time of the nation. In fact, these people, who are devoid of the passion of public service, have done nothing for the people," he said, adding: "We have served the masses as like a sacred mission. The public welfare projects in the province are a conspicuous proof of it."
Shahbaz said that revolutionary steps have been taken for the improvement of all sectors including healthcare, education, agriculture and infrastructure. Due to the steps taken by the government, people are enjoying better and latest healthcare facilities in the hospitals.
Meanwhile, mobile health units are best delivering their services for providing healthcare facilities to the people at their doorstep; whereas, a state-of-the-art Pakistan Kidney and Liver Transplant Institute is being established in the provincial metropolis for the treatment of kidney and liver diseases, he added.
He further said that establishment of Punjab Educational Endowment Fund is a commendable step of the government which has enabled the brilliant students of low-income families to continue their education. He said that the people have fully recognised the real faces of the elements making hue and cry of change as instead of public service, they have spent all of their time in mendacity and negative politics. "We are committed to serve the masses and will continue to move further without caring for hurdles," he added.
