Lahore: Governor Punjab, Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said, Electoral reforms are the way to make the general elections transparent once for all. If the opposition wants the elections free from rigging, then why is it putting obstacles in the way of electoral reforms? The egoistic politics of political opponents is not in the interest of democracy and the nation. The government is taking practical steps to save the people from problems like inflation and unemployment. He was talking to delegations from different districts at Governor House Lahore. Apart from political and administrative issues, other issues were also discussed during the meeting.
Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that unfortunately the opposition parties have been spreading negative propaganda against the government from day one and they are also criticizing the good deeds of the government for their political interests, but the people know the intentions of the opposition, hence, the people neither stood with the opposition parties before nor will in the future. Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that the opposition parties have no vision, adding that the parties in the PDM are not united on a single point and are protecting their own interests. He said that there is no threat to the government from the divided opposition but the opposition will definitely suffer. He said that now is the time for the opposition to abandon the policy of taking to the streets and focus on strengthening the democracy in the country. He urged the opposition to support the government on issues of key importance including electoral reforms. He said if the opposition parties think they can succeed in overthrowing the government through protest then they are living in fool’s paradise.
Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf has saved the country from economic bankruptcy after coming to power, adding that as far as inflation is concerned, the government has provided a relief package of Rs 120 billion under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan. He said that in the coming days, the government will take further steps to control inflation and provide maximum relief to the people.
Later, Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar in a tweet strongly condemned the increase in the number of Indian police force in occupied Kashmir and the incidents of targeting Kashmiris.
