JHELUM: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry Hussain on Monday took a jibe at the Opposition’s no-confidence motion decision, saying that they would once again fail in their designs against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Speaking at a ceremony in Pind Dadan Khan, Fawad pointed out that PM Imran has no personal dispute with the Opposition. “He (Imran Khan) just wants to recover the money that the Sharif family looted from common people, workers, and businessmen of Pakistan,” he added.
“Nawaz Sharif made a $1 billion property in front of Hyde Park in London, and billions of rupees were illegally transferred to Shahbaz Sharif from fake accounts,” the information minister added.
Fawad further said that people will not forgive Nawaz Sharif and his family until they return the country’s looted money, adding that the country faced inflation due to the acts of the former rulers.
“Bilawal Bhutto is following the politics of his father by using children of religious seminaries for politics with the help of Maulana Fazlur Rehman,” he said, adding that he should instead follow the politics of his mother and grandfather.
Chaudhry said that the PTI government fulfilled the promises it made to the people of this constituency, regretting that Pind Dadan Khan Tehsil had been kept deprived of development for 70 years.
“However, PM Khan’s government started everything afresh as there were no facilities like streets, roads, drinking water, education and health in the area,” he added.
Talking about the developments in the Jhelum district, he said that there were only 47 doctors, but now around 800 doctors and paramedics are available to extend health services to the public.
He further said that the PTI government filled the teacher’s staff in schools, opened a Passport Office and EOBI (Employees Old-Age Benefits Institution) office in the city.
The minister said it was unfortunate the Opposition was trying to muster the support of others to protect their politics and corrupt practices, adding that the public’s support cannot be won over by merely using slogans and delivering speeches, adding that developmental work and welfare-oriented schemes are a must for that.
