Minister blames previous govts for financial crunch

Aleem Khan says PTI will not disappoint any of its voters

LAHORE: Senior Punjab Minister Abdul Aleem Khan has said masses would be justified to ask this question that if Nawaz and Zardari did not loot the national exchequer then who was responsible for the deteriorating financial condition and the debt of billions of dollars. “Every ruler of the past is busy in proving himself innocent before the media without telling the truth that how much corruption they did in their regimes and how many relatives were given perks and privileges through nepotism,” he said.

Addressing a public gathering on Sunday, Khan said “Our political opponents should remain calm and wait”. “Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will not disappoint any of its voters. Each and every promise made by us will be fulfilled,” he remrked.

He said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership was talking on assumption and predicting the failure of the government. “Those who remained in power for more than thrice and the last 10 years are not ready to give even 10 months to Imran Khan and his team. They just start bashing for their personal motives.”

The minister said the PTI government has already started its journey in the right direction. “It should be clear to everyone that we know our manifesto which will be fully implemented in the coming years. Comprehensive planning has already been made in the 100-day plan for each department.”

He said the short- and long-term planning has also been made for introducing the new system in the country. He asked the people to contact the public secretariat for any complaint where the computerised system has been installed to help resolve their issues.

Meanwhile, the senior minister took notice of complaints of holding marriage functions in different parks and public places. He directed the district administration and Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) to take notice of the situation and take action accordingly.
