ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday urged the people to reject the politics of divide, discord, and bad blood with the power of their votes.
In a series of tweets on his Twitter handle, the prime minister in a veiled reference to Pakistan Tahreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan said that his ego, way of politics, and inability had played havoc with the beautiful fabric of the society.
“Use your vote for national progress and for the bright future of your children. I have the full confidence in your election power,” he added.
The prime minister took to popular social media platforms as the residents of Punjab province were set to vote in the by-election in twenty different constituencies of the province on Sunday.
پنجاب کو پونے4 سال بدترین گورننس کا نشانہ بنایا گیا. شہریوں کو مفت ادویات اور طلباء کو وظائف سےمحروم کیا گیا. سرکاری آسامیوں اورتبادلوں کی کھلےعام خرید و فروخت کی گئی. شہری سہولیات کی حالت ابتر اور لاقانونیت عروج پررہی. پنجاب کی جو حالت کی گئی، وہ پنجاب کےلوگوں کی توہین سےکم نہیں

In a related tweet, the prime minister asked the voters to think about the corruption of Imran Khan Niazi’s government’s black tenure, economic upheaval, patronage and facilitation of mafias, and the destruction in the name of change while casting their votes.
آپکا ووٹ ہی آپکی طاقت ہے. اس طاقت سے انتشار، نفرت اور تقسیم کی سیاست کومسترد کریں.ایک شخص کی اناء،اندازِ سیاست اور نااہلی نےہمارے معاشرےکے حسن کو تہ و بالا کرکے رکھ دیا ہے. اپنا ووٹ قومی ترقی اور اپنے بچوں کے روشن مستقبل کیلئےڈالیں. مجھے آپکی قوتِ انتخاب پر پورا بھروسہ ہے.

“Pakistan was distracted from its destination during the PTI’s tenure, you should express it with your votes,” he urged the voters.
The prime minister, in another tweet in Urdu language, said that during the last four years, Punjab province witnessed bad governance. The residents were deprived of free medicines and the students were denied scholarships.
پنجاب کےضمنی انتخابات میں اپنا ووٹ ڈالتےہوئے عمران نیازی حکومت کےپونے 4سالہ سیاہ دورکی کرپشن،نا اہلی،معاشی تباہی،مافیہ کی سہولت کاری و سرپرستی اورتبدیلی کےنام پر برپا کی گئی تباہی کےبارے ضرور سوچیئےگا. پاکستان PTI کےدور میں اپنی منزل سےدور ہوگیا،اسکا اظہار آپ نےاپنے ووٹ سےکرناہے

Open bargaining was made on the government postings and transfers, he regretted, adding, that civic facilities were in the worst shape and lawlessness was at its peak in the province.
The prime minister said the treatment meted out to Punjab province was no less than disrespecting the people of the province.
