President Pakistan Muslim League-N and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has vowed to make Sindh a developed province with provision of all basic facilities if the party receive mandate from the people of the province. He made this commitment while addressing the party convention which converted into a big public meeting here on Tuesday evening.
He lamented the PPP government led by Asif Ali Zaradi in Sindh, adding that the people of the province have been deprived of their basic rights due to plundering of the provincial exchequer. Sindh is the province which played key role in creation of Pakistan and after the governments of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, the province has been converted into ruin by Asif Ali Zaradri, he alleged and said that trillions of rupees have been looted by usurping the rights of the people of Sindh.
Recalling the development in Punjab by his government, Shahbaz Sharif said that one can witness the developed infrastructure including communication, health and education after crossing the border of Sindh.
He informed that Danish Schools are providing education to male and female students of the province free of cost with scholarships, food and health facilities to them. Similarly, he said that state of the art facilities have been provided in the hospitals of Punjab where the patients are getting free medical treatment, medicines and clinical tests.
He informed that the Punjab Government had disbursed scholarships of Rs 17 billion among male and female students while interest free loans of Rs 40 billion have been granted to jobless youth who have now developed their own business and make due contribuution in the national economy. The Punjab Chief Minister maintained if he received the chance to rule provincial government of Sindh with mandate of the people, the province would witness the new era of development with availability of all basic facilities to the masses at their doorsteps.
He said that no development can be achieved in Pakistan without development of all provinces of the country and Azad Kashmir and the PML-N is fully committed to making the country one of the developed countries of the world. The PML-N government would carry out development right from Karachi to Kashmore if it received chance to rule the government of Sindh after the general elections, he said and added that each district of the province would have schools like Danish School and the residents of these districts would also avail medical facilities free of cost from the hospitals to be equipped with state of the art facilities.

In the previous government, he said that former Prime Minister Mohammad Nawaz Sharif had distributed state land among landless farmers of Sindh and if the PML-N government come into power in Sindh, it will distribute the available state land among all landless peasants of the province.
