‘Opposition has no agenda for progress’

CM Punjab says opposition parties should realise that the people have rejected their ‘negative politics

LAHORE:

Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that the opposition parties should realise that the people have rejected their ‘negative politics’.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the chief minister said Pakistan was passing through a critical phase but the opposition parties were giving priority to their vested interests. “These parties have no agenda for progress and prosperity of Pakistan. The rejected elements are not even loyal to each other.”

He said the corrupt elements were helplessness in front of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Buzdar alleged that that the opposition had put the national interest at stake and was engaged in an agenda of weakening the country. He said that those who were chanting hollow slogans today had emptied the national exchequer in the past and such elements could not hoodwink the nation any more as their incompetence and corruption had been exposed.

He said it was not a time for negative politics but to promote unity and consensus.
