Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said the so-called opposition alliance ie Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), which was formed to overthrow the government, has collapsed under its own weight.
He said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government had become stronger than before.
In a statement issued on Friday, the CM said the PDM leadership that bragged about toppling the government earlier had been scattered now.
“That gang of political cronies proved most unsuccessful and incapable of achieving the objectives,” the CM said, adding that no amount of effort would revive the PDM.

He said the PTI government has taken strict action against corruption, loot and plunder, adding that politics was used for personal gains in the past.
“The past rulers weakened the country by misusing its resources,” he remarked.
He said the previous rulers' bank accounts continued swelling while the people were dying for basic needs. They even took kickbacks in contracts and development projects, the CM added.
“The political power and authority altogether changed the fortune of the families that ruled the country for many years, while the fate of the common man remained unchanged.
PM Imran Khan has brought all such mafias and influential people under the law to ensure justice,” he added.
