LAHORE:GOVERNOR Ch Muhammad Sarwar has said that those hatching conspiracies against China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) are enemies of Pakistan’s development and they will not succeed. He said that Pak-China friendship is stronger than rock.

This he said while talking to PTI central worker Hamid Zaman and Sheraz Cheema, Shoaib Salman, Mian Waheed and Asima Bajwa from PTI Youth Wing and more than 15 delegations from various districts of Punjab here at Governor House on Sunday.

Ch Sarwar said that China has always sided Pakistan in time of difficulty and the second phase of CPEC will expedite the pace of economic development of Pakistan as millions of people will get jobs in economic zones. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan the PTI has always done the politics of principles and ideology and will continue with this mission in future to make Pakistan a developed and prosperous country.

The governor said that provision of maximum relief to people is top priority of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf for which federal and provincial governments have launched the projects like Ehsas Programme and Insaf Sehat Card and now PTI will also fulfill its promise of empowering the youth through Youth Card Programme. PTI is also introducing a historic local bodies system for devolution of power at grass root level. After the local governments elections people’s problems will be resolved at their doorstep.

Ch Sarwar added that today Pakistan is faced with numerous challenges but no world power can hinder its way forward because Prime Minister Imran Khan is working with all sincerity and commitment for his country and every coming day is bringing prosperity and progress to Pakistan. He vowed that Pakistan will also get rid of problems such as price-hike and employment. He said that people have rejected the opposition parties in the general election 2018 and even now the opposition will meet failure as the people are standing with PTI.

Siraj: Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq has said the prime minister’s remarks about the health of Nawaz Sharif are inappropriate. Addressing the JI Youth Leadership Convention at Mansoora on Sunday, he said it was the official medical board which declared Nawaz condition in danger and later the government itself allowed the former prime minister to go abroad for treatment. He said the government had exposed in the past 15 months due to its zero performance in every field. On the one side, he alleged that it handed over the country to IMF and on the other side it betrayed the people of Kashmir. The performance of the rulers, he said, had also become a matter of embarrassment for those who backed them to come to power.

The JI chief said the IMF-dictated economic policies were tantamount to hit the poor and middle class and benefit the elite and affluent class.
