“No one should take the liberty to say anything offensive about the institutions according to his own desire and will. A defeated person is ridiculing the state institutions, constitution and the security of the country”, he said while talking to the media at the residence of Mian Naveed MPA in Pakpattan on Monday. The CM argued that the statements of Imran Niazi were against the security of the country. “Even the friendly countries have become a victim of his statements and as a result, they have distanced themselves from Pakistan”, he regretted and pointed out that Imran Niazi, who claimed to become an advocate of Pakistan and Kashmir cause, had miserably failed to fulfil his commitment. “Imran Niazi will have to be answerable for all his sins very soon. He will have to be answerable even in the court of the public”, he added.
To a question, the CM explained that Imran Niazi was trying to play with the constitution and pointed out that doors of the Supreme Court were opened to uphold the constitution. “There would have been no constitution in the country if the doors of the Supreme Court were not opened in the night”, he said.
He went on to say: “What has been done during last four years, except taking revenge, and creating chaos in the country while fake promises were made with the youth about employment and a circus going on in Punjab? The Punjab governor has played havoc with the constitution”. To another question, the CM maintained that the price hike had made people mentally sick.
He said the government was trying to create ease in the lives of the common man and a public welfare agenda would be brought out within the next few days. A decrease in the prices of edibles would be the first part of this agenda; he disclosed and added that the murder of the father of Mian Naveed would be investigated, and criminals would be taken to task.

He laid the floral wreath and prayed for the welfare and propensity of the country. The CM also offered Nawafil in Masjid-e-Aulia and inspected various sections of the mausoleum.
Talking on this occasion, Hamza Shehbaz pointed out that the promotion of brotherhood, harmony and tolerance was the gist of the teachings of various Sufi Saints. There is a need to promote their traditions as Islam was spread in the Indo-Pak sub-continent through Sufi Saints and religious leaders. The religious leaders have further promoted the message of Islam and one feels spiritual contentment at the shrines of Sufi Saints, he added. Hamza Shehbaz inspected various sections of DHQ hospital Pakpattan and inquired the patients and their attendants about the facilities. He directed to move a little girl, sitting in the waiting area, to the emergency ward for treatment without delay. The CM disclosed that the 2nd shift of the hepatitis clinics would be started soon.
“Provision of the best medical facilities to the people is my mission and I have inspected hospitals in various districts during their visits. I have issued instructions to provide free medicines and every hurdle in the provision of the best healthcare facility in hospitals would be removed’, he said.
The cleanliness and other arrangements would be improved and no leniency would be tolerated in the provision of the best medical facilities in hospitals; he added and emphasized that free and best treatment is the right of every citizen.
