LAHORE: Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar has said that the opposition is clueless about its future strategy so it is resorting to the politics of Long March and resignations. There are a dozen of narratives in the PDM.
There are no differences between the government and its allies, adding that all are on the same page for the development and prosperity of the country and the strengthening of institutions. We want to take the country forward. ‘’No one should go to bed hungry’’ programme is a testimony to the government’s public-friendly initiatives.
He was speaking to the media after the inauguration of a free eye camp set up in collaboration with Sarwar Foundation and Al-Mustafa Trust in Kameer on Wednesday. Sarwar Foundation’s Begum Perveen Sarwar and others were also present.The governor said that all the claims made by the leadership of the opposition parties in the PDM since its inception had never been fulfilled. By threatening the government, they think that they can blackmail Prime Minister Imran Khan and the government but it is not possible. "We are ready to face the opposition and we will also defeat them in the political arena," he said. Replying to a question, he said that the election of Senate chairman and deputy chairman is taking place on March 12. Sadiq Sanjrani is a unanimous candidate of the government and allied parties.
