LAHORE:Punjab Local Government Minister Zeeshan Rafique and Minister for Communications and Works (C&W) Malik Sohaib Ahmad Bherth said that the voters trusted the candidates of Muslim League-N and allied parties in April 21 by-elections only after seeing the new direction of the development journey.
Both ministers were expressing their reaction during a media talk on the premises of the Punjab Assembly, here on Monday. Zeeshan Rafique said that the public responded in a befitting manner during the by-election to those who made noise of so called rigging during the recent general elections.
“The election results showed that the people want the politics of development and prosperity, not anarchy”, he said. Local Government Minister said that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has set new examples of public service in just two months.
“Relief was given to the public in the form of cheap flour and cheap bread. Let the propagandists hear that election results are the best measure of popularity”, he said. During the talk minister C&W Malik Sohaib Ahmad Bherth said that the people of Punjab trusted the leadership and policies of Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
“There will be more good news in the coming days. We will serve people day and night”, he resolved. Malik Sohaib said that the people once again trusted in the by-election after seeing our track record.
Minister for Communications and Works pledged that under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, the problems of the province and the country will be solved. “The public gave an overwhelming response to those who tried to play game of form 45 and 47”, he said. He said that reduced prices of bread and great relief in the form of ‘Ramazan Nigehban’ package are unprecedented examples of service. “Ramazan Nigehban Package and other projects were launched for the betterment of the people”, he said.
Minister Zeeshan Rafique said that work is being done on conducting local government elections. “PTI’s Local Government Act 2022 was a joke. Local Bodies elections will be held in Punjab after removing flaws in the act. To a question, he said that those who spread the culture of misogyny had martyred a Muslim League worker at Narowal.
