‘PTI has at last realised CPEC’s importance’

PESHAWAR: Pakistan Muslim League-(PML-N) leader Amir Muqam has termed the meeting of the Joint Coordination Committee on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) a good omen and said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership has at last realised the importance of the project.

Talking to the PML-N social media team for Peshawar division at his residence here on Sunday, he said their party under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been striving to put the country on the path to progress and prosperity.

He said the mega projects launched by the federal government, including the mega-billion CPEC, would usher in a new era of development and change the life of the people. Criticising the PTI chief for issuing insulting statements and levelling baseless allegations, he said this had become a habit of Imran Khan who was known as the master of 'U-turns'.

He said the people had become fed up with those holding dharnas and protests in the name of ehtesab and Panama PapersLeaks in a bid to hide their own corruption.

“They point fingers at others but had kept silence over the scandals like the Khyber Bank Leaks,” he argued. Welcoming the formation of the new Supreme Court bench on the Panama Papers case, Amir Muqam said Imran Khan should produce the evidence before the judges instead of wasting precious time of the apex court.

He said the PTI chief should refrain from making allegations against institutions like the ECP.

Pointing out that the social media had gained importance, he asked the PML-N social media team to bring facts to light unlike the PTI's wrong propaganda and news based on assumption.
