Politics of allegations won’t succeed: Punjab CM

Says plundering of wealth by Asif Zardari and baseless

allegations by Imran have disappointed people

LAHORE: Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that politics of baseless allegations, agitation and anarchy will not succeed. Those who are against the progress and development of this nation are enemies of Pakistan and they just want to achieve their personal agenda and have nothing to do with the public welfare.

The former rulers did not pay attention to the peoples’ problems but were involved in looting the national wealth. The priorities of former rulers were something else and that is why the problems of masses have increased. He said ongoing progress and development in the country is a problem for political opponents.

Talking to Members of National Assembly, the chief minister said people of Pakistan only wanted progress and resolution of their problems. He said politically conscious people of Pakistan are disgusted with politics of those who are against progress and development, adding that these so-called politicians are afraid that completion of development projects would bring an end to their negative politics. He said those who are involved in lies, corruption and false accusation need to review their non-political and unethical attitude. The plundering of national wealth by Asif Zardari and lies and baseless allegations of Imran Khan have spread enough hopelessness in the masses, he added.

On one hand, there are former rulers with lack of vision who worsened the country’s economy whereas on the other hand, there is a ‘dharna group’ who tried to spread chaos and anarchy to stop Pakistan’s journey of progress and development. Had the former rulers paid attention to the challenges faced by the people instead of looting, today the situation would have been different, he added. He said the enlightened people of Pakistan have rejected the negative politics of some political elements, which are opposed to national development and prosperity. Those who do politics of chaos and agitation have nothing to do with the welfare of the people and such entities with the help of sit-ins, lockdowns and negative politics have hampered country’s progress and development.

He said these elements had hatched conspiracies to stop the journey of progress and development in the country but the people of Pakistan foiled their evil designs. He said the PML-N government has made certain the right and better use of national resources.
