The public must identify their enemies who are political vultures feeding off of public prosperity, said Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Addressing the media at the Orange Line Train's inauguration ceremony on Sunday, Sharif said that the train was China's gift to Pakistan and that the service will be used daily by 250,000 people from all walks of life.

The Orange Line will transport service to not just Lahore but the entire country, he said.

Shehbaz Sharif advised to stay put in Punjab

"Our political rivals don't want Orange Line Train to become operational so Lahore's people need to identify these vultures who are an impediment in the region's march towards prosperity," the CM said.

He added that despite the many stumbling blocks opponents throw in their way, the country will continue its move to prosperity.

Commenting on ongoing corruption court cases against Nawaz Sharif's family, Shehbaz said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz would wholly accept any decision made by the court.
