Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar Thursday said that the PTI will achieve success in the upcoming Senate election and that it will emerge as the majority party in the Upper House.
In a statement, the CM emphasised that those who are against open balloting have some internal fears as these people were habitual of horse-trading in the past. The opposition has always opposed political transparency and, now, it is trying to manipulate Senate election by dint of the power of the currency, he added. Resistance to the open balloting has exposed the duality of opposition parties. The opposition should avoid hue and cry over open balloting issue as its credibility has been completed eroded and they will weep over the Senate election results. In fact, PDM is meant for ranting and it will continue to bewail till 2023, he added.
Meanhwile, National Assembly Members Zain Qureshi and Aurangzeb Khan Khichi, Transport Minister Jehanzeb Khan Khichi, MPAs namely Fateh Khaliq, Ch. Bilal Asghar, Col (R) Ghazanfar Abbas Shah, Malik Mukhtar Ahmed, Asif Majeed and Mian Muhammad Farukh Mumtaz Maneka met with Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar at his office to discuss their constituency-related problems as well as the strategy for upcoming Senate election.
The CM assured to resolve the problems being faced by the people adding that he continues to visit different far-flung areas to know about public problems. I am the custodian of rights of every backward area of the province and will fight for the development and prosperity of all such areas, he added. The solution of different problems relating to health, education and irrigation sectors is part of government priorities and the problems relating to the provision of clean drinking water and sewerage are also being solved, the CM added.
Usman Buzdar maintained that opposition alliance will not succeed as it is based on mutual distrust adding that PDM will go to rack and ruin soon. The PDM is facing internal strife from the day first and there is a lack of trust among the leadership, he added. Meanwhile, the PDM is also trying to evade long march like the previous threat of resignations, concluded the CM.
The parliamentarians thanked the CM for announcing development package for the uplift of backward areas of south Punjab.
Usman Buzdar has congratulated the nation over the successful test of cruise missile Babur-I. In a statement, he paid tributes to scientists added that another milestone has been achieved to safeguard the defence of the country.
Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has expressed a deep sense of sorrow over the death of 3 persons due to falling of minaret of an under-construction mosque in Minawan and directed to provide best treatment facilities to the injured. He has also extended sympathies to the heirs and sought a report from the administration.
Meanwhile, Special Assistant to CM on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said that fathers of Sindhi prince and self-proclaimed princess are the architects and promoters of using big money in politics as both made bids to take over the politics in the decades of 80s and 90s. This corrupt duo is, again, active to horse-trading in Senate election as the father of Sindhi prince, popularly known as Mr. 10 per cent, is also very expert in exchanging briefcases, she added. Corruption runs in the blood of the fake princess and the Sindhi prince, she added.
As corruption stories of Sharif brothers and Mr. 10 per cent are the worst part of the political history of Pakistan. Regrettably, the political scions who accidentally entered into politics have inherited corruption only, the SACM deplored. She emphasised that the corrupt gang may move from pillar to post but looted money will be eked out from them and they have to be accountable for their misdeeds. The PTI will go to every extent to curb the menace of the use of money in politics, concluded the SACM.
