Staff Reporter – Lahore:
Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has termed PDM as an unnatural group of political robber-barons with no concrete agenda but to deceive the people.
In a statement, the CM maintained PDM comprises of political opportunists whose every conspiracy has been failed. This unnatural union is worthless before the transparent politics of PM Imran Khan; he said and advised it to adopt positive political behaviour instead of wasting energies in anarchistic politics. The PDM is wasting time in lip service while ignoring that the PTI-led government is stronger than before and it will also win the next elections, concluded the CM.
He has repeated that the PTI government believes in composite development adding that development projects have been launched after identifying genuine public needs and requirements for different areas.
In a statement, the CM vowed that no area will remain deprive of development adding that backward areas are given equal importance in the development journey. Development is the fundamental right of the people of south Punjab which has been returned to them by the PTI government, he continued. The Punjab cabinet has approved rules of business of the south Punjab secretariat and the government has fulfilled its promise by giving administrative autonomy to it, he stated.
The CM regretted that the past government befooled the people of south Punjab with empty slogans and reappropriated south Punjab funds for projects of choice. The PTI government has allocated a ring-fenced budget of Rs. 189 billion to ensure balanced development in the south Punjab districts, he said. Similarly, the CM concluded that the foundation stone of the south Punjab secretariat will be laid soon in Bahawalpur while a separate ADP book is also printed.
