LAHORE  -  Punjab Assembly Speaker Parvez Elahi met Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar at Assembly Chamber on Wednesday. Different matters of mutual interest including of steps for the promotion of good governance came under discussion.

The chief minister said that basic facilities were being enhanced to provide necessary relief to the people.

“The people have already rejected the elements engaged in negative politics through the power of their votes in the general elections. The time to befool the people with slogans has passed and made it clear that only the politics of continuous work will prevail now. Wrong priorities of the past badly affected the people and they were put in troubles instead of providing them any relief. On the other side, incumbent government immediately started working on providing various facilities to the people as public service is the real essence of the democracy,” the chief minister added.

The speaker said that welfare projects of his tenure were put on personal ego. Due to it, general public suffered due to delay in different welfare-oriented projects. The people have taken their revenge from the past rulers through the power of their vote. The present democratic era is a period of the people and merit and good governance will reign supreme instead of personal likes or dislikes, the speaker added.

PTI assembly members also held meetings with the chief minister in his assembly chamber. Talking on the occasion, Usman Buzdar said that Pakistan is being transformed in a positive manner under the leadership of prime minister Imran Khan. Only a leader like Imran Khan will wriggle the country out of crises, he said. Our direction and commitment are in the right direction. Assembly members are my team and their problems will be solved on priority basis, he added. He said that decisions are being taken with consensus and continuous hard work is being done by us to improve the lot of the people. Unique and unprecedented work will be done for the betterment of the people which was not done by others in years, he said. Usman Buzdar said that Pakistan has started moving on the journey of change and the dream of prime minister Imran Khan about making a new Pakistan will be fulfilled at every cost. He said that new Pakistan will be made by employing hard work, passion and commitment. Every human being will live in a respectable manner in the new Pakistan and people will be provided justice and other facilities at their doorsteps. He said that new local bodies system will give new dimensions to the concept of public service. The local bodies system is being established on new lines by devolving the power to the genuine representatives of the people at the grassroots. The imbalance of authority in the incumbent system has ruined the local bodies system. Therefore, PTI government is going to introduce such a local bodies system which will provide relief to the common man, the chief minister concluded.
