Country moving in right direction, claims CM

Buzdar says Pakistan will achieve its destination under PM Imran Khan | Punjab only province where flour available at a fixed rate

Lahore  -  The PTI government is inaugurating public welfare projects every other day while opposition is completely apathetic about public issues.

This was stated by Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar in a statement issued here on Monday. 

The CM regretted the PDM was busy in a spate of conspiracies to obstruct the development process. “In fact, these elements have become unnerved due to the country’s journey towards the right direction”, he said, adding that the people were well aware of the fact that these parties played havoc with the economy during their tenures. “

On the contrary, Prime Minister Imran Khan rectified the past transgressions and the country is moving towards the right direction because of the hard work, commitment and devotion of the PM”, he remarked.  Usman Buzdar maintained the country was facing internal as well as external challenges and the politics of chaos and polarization would be against the national interest. 

“It is regrettable that the opposition is only interested in achieving its personal agenda by promoting anarchy in the country. 

On the other side, the people want the country to move forward. The Prime Minister is taking decisions in the best national interest and the opposition should realize that the era of loot and plunder will not return”, he observed, adding that the country will achieve its destination under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
