LAHORE - Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has held that the PTI government in KPK wasted billions of rupees on, what he calls, useless sit-ins, instead of helping the IDPs of North Waziristan.
Talking to the PML-N members in Punjab and National Assembly on Saturday, the chief minister said that the protesters also displayed worst apathy towards flood affectees. He added that people would never forgive Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri for their ‘disinterest’ towards country’s development.
Shahbaz Sharif also said that the PML-N government, under the dynamic leadership of Nawaz Sharif, was determined to steer the country out of crises. The recent visit of the prime minister to China was containing big steps for the country’s development and would leave a positive impact on the economy, he added.
He further said that serious steps were being taken for making up the loss caused to the economy due to the recent sit-ins.
“Those, who are misleading the people, will never succeed in their nefarious designs,” Shahbaz Sharif hoped.
