“Addresses parliamentarians from Multan And Bahawalpur divisions in Islamabad”
LAHORE: President Pakistan Muslim League-N and Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif said it is the pre-elections routine that opportunists ally themselves according to their individual interests but those who are filled with the passions of public-service and loyalty are firmly standing like a solid rock by facing every sort of pressure. Those who have talked about eleven points consisting of education, health and agriculture in Lahore rally should first account for KPK. He said that Imran Khan has now realized about the public but where was he five years ago? The people will bury the politics of falsehood, lies, deceit, allegations and sit-in once and for all in the elections of 2018.
He stated this while addressing a meeting of members of parliament and party workers belonging to Multan and Bahawalpur divisions in Islamabad, today. Quaid PML-N Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, federal ministers, PML-N leaders, Hamza Shehbaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and other party office-bearers were present on the occasion.
Addressing the meeting, Shehbaz Sharif said that Imran Khan’s meeting of 2018 was a failure from every respect as compared to the gathering of 2011. The participation of locals was negligible and public passion was also missing. In this meeting, only the aspiring candidates of tickets brought the people along which is a proof of unsuccessful politics of Imran Khan. Shehbaz Sharif said that due to the sit-ins, lockdown, civil disobedience and politics of anarchy, the visit of Chinese President to Pakistan was postponed. Resultantly, mega projects were delayed and obstructions were created in the development process. He said that Quaid of PML-N Muhammad Nawaz Sharif rejected the offer of Bill Clinton to the tune of five billion dollars and showed valor and bravery by making six explosions in response to five atomic explosions. He made the national defense impregnable and the country achieved the goal of development under his vision. He disclosed that Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was advised that this amount can be utilized for national development but he replied that such a development is meaningless when national defense is not strengthened and Pakistan couldn’t equally talk to India.
Chief Minister said that CPEC project was started under the leadership of Muhammad Nawaz Sharif. In addition to it, Sahiwal Coal Power Plant, 1300-megawatt power project at Port Qasim and completion of similar energy projects in the record period of time are achievements which have helped to solve the national problems. He said that Nawaz Sharif has tremendously served the nation adding that his bravery, courage and determination will bear fruit and the party will achieve wonderful successes in the elections. Despite many hiccups and uncertain situation, the GDP growth ratio has remained 5.8 percent. It is highest during the last 13 years, he added. Meanwhile, agriculture sector has shown a growth rate of 3.8 percent. It has been made possible due to provision of subsidized fertilizers, interest-free loans and subsidy on electrical agri tube-wells, he added.
Chief Minister said that 2018 belongs to the PML-N and added that party will achieve success due to its public service records. He talked about his visits to Karachi, Peshawar and Mardan and said that people of Karachi have thanked Muhammad Nawaz Sharif for bringing back peace in their cities. The people said that they are thankful to him and will never forget this benefaction. He said that he has been welcomed at every point during his visits to Peshawar and Mardan and added that people in both the provinces are disappointed of the leadership of Peoples Party and PTI as they have done nothing in their respective provinces. He said that PML-N’s workers and leaders are united and the party will win the elections with thumping majority. He said that Imran Niazi lied day and night and leveled allegations; now the nation will hold him accountable for his deeds. He said that Imran Niazi claimed in a meeting that he will never speak lies but he has set records of speaking lies during the last five years and added that nation will take stock of his performance now. This double standard will not work as you resort to sit-ins and when it is the turn of the opponents you distribute sweets. They have brought the people to Lahore from across the country by spending crores of rupees but these people have become our voters after seeing the composite development in the city of Lahore, concluded the Chief Minister.
PML-N Quaid Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said that Punjab has marvelously progressed under the leadership of Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and added that if any comparison of Punjab is made with Sindh and KPK, the Punjab is far ahead of them with regard to development. Thousands of Kilometers long farm-to-market roads have been made in Punjab along with arranging a network of hospitals, educational institutions and universities. Shehbaz Sharif has also proactively worked for speedy completion of energy projects, he concluded.
