Federal Minister Sahibzada Mahboob Sultan, Raza Nasrullah MNA and MPAs namely Samiullah Ch, Sher Akbar Khan and Rana Shahbaz Ahmad called on Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar at his office and apprised him about the problems of their constituencies.
The CM assured an early solution adding that politics of chaos has no value before the journey of public service. The opposition has no agenda nor any program for the welfare of the masses, he regretted. Usman Buzdar made it clear that the people will not be deceived by the looters entering into the political arena with a falsified identity and PDM’s evil object of creating chaos in the country will not be materialised. The looters’ cabal assembled under the opposition alliance can’t deceive the people, he said. It is deplorable that the opposition tried political point-scoring to inveigle the masses, he added.
The chief minister mentioned that both PPP and PML-N raised hollow slogans and made a dacoity on the rights of the common man to fill their own coffers. Both have tarnished the respect of the vote, and become allies for the sake of personal interests. Their temporal alliance is limited to protecting personal interests only, he added. The cabal of cronies has been ousted from the politics for good, he said. Furthermore, PM Imran Khan has also driven the last nail into the coffin of hereditary politics. Imran Khan sensitized the common man to live an honourable life and took decisions in the best national interest. Along with it, the people will not reconsider this opportunist cabal, and the power-hungry opposition should read the writing on the wall, concluded the chief minister.
Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar chaired a meeting at his office on Tuesday about celebration of Shan-e-Rahmat-ul-Alameen (PBUH) Week from November 13.
The CM directed to celebrate this week in a befitting manner adding that the celebrations will be held at different levels along with holding of mehfil-e-na’at and mehfil-e-sama at Alhamra Complex, Qaddafi Stadium.
