Every dept in Punjab progressing: Azma

LAHORE: Provincial Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said every department in Punjab is making progress by leaps and bounds, while the PTI has turned KP into a barren land.

In a statement issued here on Wednesday, she said farmers in Punjab were receiving green tractors and tube wells were being converted to solar system. Those who shamefully speak ill of a female leader show no embarrassment; instead, they display audacity. How can those who do not honour their sisters and daughters respect others’ families? People in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are struggling with inflation, poverty, unemployment, and terrorism. The chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa seems very fond of hurling insults at the chief minister of Punjab.

In response to statements by Barrister Saif and Muzamil Aslam, Azma said: “CM Maryam Nawaz is providing Kissan package, electric bikes, Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar program, and scholarships to students in Punjab. Meanwhile, colleges and universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are closing due to a lack of funds. A new NSIT is being established in Punjab. Development is ongoing in every sector of Punjab, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is rapidly declining.”

She said Maryam was not inclined to name terrorists. She does not even find it appropriate to name “your corrupt leader”. “Names are called in speeches for those who deserve it. Neither you nor your leaders deserve to be named. If they feel so hurt by being shown the reality, why do they not feel ashamed when they indulge in using foul language about others?” she concluded.
