LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-i-Azam (PML-Q) senior central leader and former deputy prime minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has said that his government had started work on forensic lab law in 2007 for elimination of crimes in Punjab after getting a bill passed by the provincial assembly.

He expressed these views in a statement issued on Friday. “Like our all other projects, Shehbaz Sharif also stopped work on it and resumed it after six years and now he is a taking its credit,” he remarked. “Likewise, Shehbaz did not start work on our Mandi Bahauddin District Headquarters Hospital for 10 years whereas Gujrat to Salem dual carriageway was also our project of which we had completed road up to Phalia but Shehbaz also stopped work on it and now trying to take credit for these projects as well.”

Elahi said he performed inauguration of work of Chak Nizam Malikwal bridge for the fourth time whereas Nawaz Sharif had also cut its ribbon previously.

“Our government had spent billions of rupees for development projects in Mandi Bahauddin during five years. Five projects costing Rs7.158 billion were under implementation which included a 95-kilometre long Gujrat-Salem dual carriageway, District Headquarter Hospital, Tehsil Headquarter Malikwal, Child Mother Health Centre Phalia and Government Degree College for Women,” he said.
