Azma terms CM’s one-year performance ‘revolutionary’

LAHORE:Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has challenged the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government to present a list of just 10 development projects, stating if they do, the Punjab government will promote them itself.

She emphasised that Punjab’s media campaign is grounded in reality, while those with "zero performance" should be embarrassed to criticise Punjab’s governance. Her remarks came in response to a statement by Barrister Saif.

Azma Bokhari stated that instead of constantly targeting Punjab, the so-called spokespersons should present the performance of their government. The fact that they only criticise Punjab is proof they have nothing substantial to showcase about KP’s achievements.

She added that those whose governance is marked by theatrics, empty promises, and conspiracies against the nation have no standing to comment on Punjab’s progress. The minister highlighted Punjab’s tangible results, noting that under Maryam Nawaz’s leadership, significant positive changes have been made in the lives of Punjab’s residents within just one year. She further said that every aspect of our media campaign reflects Punjab’s on-ground realities. Meanwhile, KP’s treasury has been wasted on sit-ins, protests, and long marches for over a decade.

She declared if the KP government can list its 10 development projects, we will personally promote them in Punjab. Instead of engaging in blame games, the KP government should focus on providing real relief to its people.

She hailed Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s one-year performance as a "revolutionary chapter in Pakistan’s history," stating that Maryam Nawaz has shattered multiple records of success within a single year.

"In Pakistan’s 76-year history, no leader has initiated and completed as many projects as Maryam Nawaz has accomplished in just one year. While Maryam Nawaz is setting benchmarks in public service, her opponents are busy planting flags in the soil of verbal hostility." She emphasised that Maryam Nawaz has redefined politics by transforming it into a vehicle for public service, introducing a new trend of governance.

"Pakistan’s youth demand electric bikes, scholarships, laptops, and accessible business loans—not petrol bombs, slingshots, or spiked batons. The younger generation has awakened; they have outright rejected the politics of arson, blockades, violence, vandalism, and chaos. Maryam Nawaz has emerged as a beacon of hope and aspiration for the youth," Bokhari asserted.

She said that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz cares for the people like a mother. ‘A mother always wishes to see her children prosper and thrive. No mother wants to see her children in police stations or jails, she said.
