‘Government will complete tenure’

Sarwar mocks PDM disunity, inability to dislodge rulers

LAHORE:

Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar has stressed yet again that the elections would be held only after the government completes its full term.

He was talking to party workers and the media at the residence of Zafar Sindhu, a central member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), on Sunday.

“April will come after ‘March’ and nothing will happen,” he lampooned the latest tactics of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for trying to bring down the government.

The governor highlighted that there was no consensus among the PDM parties. “In fact there is clear dissent!”

Speaking on the occasion, he said the present government was pursuing a policy of complete adherence to transparency and merit and therefore not even the opponents can point a finger at the honesty of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said that opposition parties should give up hope of holding early general elections as the general elections will be held only after the completion of the government’s term.

“Devolution of power to the lower level is the first priority of the government and as soon as we overcome coronavirus, local body elections will be held across Punjab.
