QUETTA: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Monday said his political opponents will have to wait beyond the year 2018 for their turn as the people of Pakistan support progress and not anarchy.
Addressing the launch of the national health program in the provincial capital of Balochistan here at the Governor’s House, the prime minister said his government was committed to change the political culture of the country from that of confrontation to serving the masses.
The prime minister said the PML-N government was committed to provide a transparent and corruption-free system in the country and recalled that not a penny of corruption has been proved against any of his governments in his present and earlier two tenures, which were marked with efficiency and high performance.
He was particularly appreciative of the speech of Balochistan Chief Minister Sanaullah Zehri in which he had extended his full support to the PML-N government and warned the political opponents a befitting reply if they did not desist from conspiracies.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the people of Pakistan fully support the pace of progress and development undertaken by the PML-N government. He said certain elements tried to blame him for corruption and said he had set up a judicial commission to probe the allegations and clear the matter once and for all. He said he would continue to serve the masses after being exonerated from all such baseless charges.
He regretted that amidst the politics of sit-ins and protests the country could not move forward as investors avoid investing funds and industries do not operate at full capacity.
The prime minister earlier inaugurated the scheme that would cover four districts of Balochistan, catering to the needs of 178,000 people in Loralai, Quetta, Lasbella and Kech. In the first phase, 76,000 people in Quetta would benefit from the insurance scheme.
