Lahore: Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that we did not stop any March or protest of the opposition in the past and we won’t do so in the future. Before Peoples Party, Moulana Fazal ur Rehman has also gone on long march but the government is still intact. Regarding the economic development of the country, the visit of Prime Minister Imran Khan to Russia has been of great importance. At this point, the world is bifurcating into two blocks but we would not become a part of any block. The country’s interests are the priority of the government. Punjab Aab-e-Pak authority is completing 1500 projects. NGOs are also working with us on the clean drinking water project. 1.5 crore people will be provided with clean water, he added.
He was addressing the media on the occasion of the inauguration of filtration plants and laying the foundation of welfare hospital on Monday in Jalalpur Bhutan and Lala Musa. Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said during his speech that for the prosperity of the citizens, the government is utilizing all resources. The purpose of the Sehat Card and Ehsaas Programme is also to provide relief to the nation. For the first time in the country, the government is working for equal development across Pakistan. InshAllah, under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, we will continue to strive for the strengthening and prosperity of the country. Sarwar foundation is also providing clean drinking water to 2.5 million people through filtration plants and I also want to say to philanthropists that they should step forward to serve humanity because history remembers such people who work for humanity.
While replying to the questions of journalists Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that it is the democratic right of opposition to protest and to do a long march. That is why they can do protest and long march whenever and wherever they want. It is the clear policy of the government that no hindrance will be created in the peaceful protest. Allied parties have said repeatedly that they stand with the government. We have been given the mandate for 5 years by the public and the current government is taking measures to strengthen all departments including democracy.
