‘PML-N to play role to create Bahawalpur province’
Haji Ahsanuddin Qureshi says PML-N believed in serving the people and making no false promises.
BAHAWALPUR:
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will play an important role in the creation of a Bahawalpur province, Haji Ahsanuddin Qureshi, the religious affairs minister said on Thursday.
Qureshi was addressing a meeting of PML-N members at the Circuit House in Bahawalpur. He said the PML-N believed in serving the people and making no false promises.
He said that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leaders had claimed that a South Punjab province was being created but later said it lacked the required strength in the assemblies. He said the PML-N government had started a record number of development projects in the Punjab.
He said third party surveys had concluded that these projects were corruption free and most were completed on time.
He said the Education Endowment Fund, scholarships and laptop schemes had benefited young people. He said PML-N had ended police station-controlled politics. Later, he visited a steel recycling mill near Bahawalpur to meet party workers and directed the Labour Dept to ensure that wages were being paid to workers according to relevant laws.
