LAHORE:Parliamentarians called on Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar and discussed matters of mutual interest, including the pace of development schemes and solution of problems of their constituencies.
Talking on the occasion, the chief minister maintained that the so-called politics of holding long marches and resignations had ended in a fiasco. I have already pointed out that these elements have no courage to resign or hold a long march as those involved in the quagmire of corruption could raise only hollow slogans, he added. The opposition cannot materialise its claims as this cabal has only learnt about looting the country, he said. The chief minister emphasised that there was no room for corrupt politicians in the new Pakistan. The rejected elements have no political future and disappointment is evident on their faces, he said. The chief minister regretted that these elements intended to fulfill the agenda of the enemy by spreading turmoil in the country. On the other side, the government is burning the midnight oil to resolve public problems, he added. Those involved in the politics of chaos should realise sense, he suggested. The parliamentarians stated that the amount of respect and honour, given to them, was unimaginable in the past. The contacts with the parliamentarians help to solve problems at the grassroots, they added. Those who called on the chief minister included Muhammad Afzal Khan Dhandhla MNA, MPAs Makhdoom Syed Iftikhar Hussain Gillani, Muhammad Amir Nawaz Khan, Muhammad Ejaz Hussain Bandesha, Rai Zahoor Ahmad, Muhammad Waris Aziz, Ghazanfar Abbas Cheena, Taimoor Ali Lali and Nawabzada Mansoor Ahmad Khan.
