The PTI chief pointed out that the PPP which was ruling the country was not sincere to find assassinators of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. He stated that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif spent Rs27 billion on one road in Lahore which could have been utilised for the promotion of education. There is a lack of primary schools and basic education infrastructure, especially in the rural and remote areas and more than 30 million children are unable to get education while other hand, the Punjab government has lavishly spent billions of rupees on Daanish school," he argued.
