LAHORE: Prime minister Mohammad Nawaz Sharif inaugurated the Greater Iqbal Park in side of Minar-e-Pakistan here on Sunday.

The park covering an area of 120 acres include a library, an open air-gym and a dancing fountain.

Addressing at the inaugural ceremony, the prime minister said that there is no such place in the whole sub-continent.

He said that Iqbal Park is the same place where the past is embracing with the future. “It means I am pointing at the Mausoleum of Allama Iqbal which is both our past and future. Iqbal not only gave us our destiny but he has guided us”.

Nawaz Sharif further said that the past governments did not perform their duties on civilised basis nor they completed their responsibilities.

He said that now the situation has been changed in three years during our tenure.
