Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar Monday said that the foundation of a new Pakistan has been laid under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan and the country is moving forward in the right direction introducing holistic reforms in a short span of time.
"The opposition parties have no agenda and they are trying to hoodwink the people through their criticism just for the sake of criticism," The CM said, adding: "The opposition should realize that the elements rejected by the people have lost their credibility; hence, they should fully realize that people cannot be befooled through lies."
In a statement, the Punjab CM said that corruption remained at its peak during the tenure of previous rulers and the national resources were wasted mercilessly on wrong projects. There is no room for any corruption or corrupt elements in the new Pakistan, he said, adding: "The people are fully aware of the loot and plunder made in the previous tenures."
He said the former rulers are reaping today what they had sown earlier. Those who enjoyed at the expense of public money could not be the leaders and if the foreign loans would have been used correctly, the state of affairs would have been different today, Buzdar opined.
He said the government is working with full commitment and passion to save the country from difficult situation. "The PTI government is fully focused on the provision of necessary facilities of life to the people and unprecedented steps have been taken for the welfare of the people," he said, adding: "We are bringing improvements in the lives of the people by working day and night."
The CM reiterated that the PTI government will materialize the dream of a new Pakistan as it has come into power with the agenda of public service. He said that the PM and his team have taken solid steps to improve the economy. "We are in the right direction and our intention is right," he added. The decisions made for the betterment of the country have started yielding positive results and targets will be achieved through the implementation of public welfare programs, he said.
Moreover, the CM Buzdar has expressed a deep sense of sorrow over the loss of lives due to the capsizing of a boat in Sindh River near Rojhan. He has extended sympathies to the bereaved heirs and sought a report from the administration.
