All allies united under Imran Khan: Firdous Ashiq Awan

SIALKOT: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan Sunday said all members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have expressed their satisfaction over Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar.

Addressing a media conference, she said, "Our coalition partners are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the government. “Whether it is PML-Q [Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid] or other political parties, they are determined to put the country on the road to progress.

The special assistant said the “ailing group” of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is busy in conspiring abroad against Punjab government. The leaders of coalition government are united under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, she added. Dr Firdous said this is a year of governance, relief and delivery.

Dr Firdous said PM Imran Khan was committed to putting the country on the road to progress and prosperity, as per aspirations of the nation. She said the country was now moving ahead successfully towards economic stability due to positive and effective economic policies of the PTI government.

She added that the government was determined to implement its reforms agenda to root out corruption, adding that all stakeholders should join the government for strengthening democracy in the country.

Dr Firdous said all Punjab Assembly members had shown full confidence in the leadership of CM Sardar Usman Buzdar. About Usman Buzdar’s meeting with MPAs on Saturday, Dr Firdous said, "After voicing all their concerns and reservations, all MPAs in Punjab have once again expressed their confidence in chief minister leadership.”

She said people wanted Pakistan to progress, and political parties should play their constitutional role in legislation for well-being of the country. "Instead of speaking against the government and misleading people, the opposition should play its role in the parliament and help the government make laws," she added.

She asked the opposition to participate in the events the government had planned for Kashmir Solidarity Day on Feb 5. She said the Indian government had made the lives of the oppressed Kashmiri people a living hell through human rights violations, custodial killings and genocide of the innocent Kashmiris. Dr Firdous said Narendra Modi government wanted to eliminate all minorities, including Muslims, in India.

She said Prime Minister Imran Khan’s statements about RSS [Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh] and fascist Modi regime were being highlighted in the world media. She urged the international community to play its role to help end Indian brutalities against innocent Kashmiri people.
