Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar has said that nobody can or will oust Prime Minister. He said that Jahangir Tareen hasn’t left PTI nor his part of any anti-government campaign. The government will complete the constitutional term.
This was stated by him while addressing a conference at Cir-cuit House Multan on Tuesday after the inaugura-tion of more than 20 projects of Punjab Aab e Pak Authority worth Rs 60 million.
Provincial Minister for Energy Akhtar Malik, Chairman Punjab Aab Pak Authority Dr. Shakeel Ahmed, PTI MPA Javaid Akhtar Ansari and others were also present.
Chaudhry Sarwar said that the first phase of local government elections will begin formally from May 15th as promised. Some people within the party may differ in their views but under the leader-ship of Prime Minister Imran Khan they are all on the same page. Responding to the questions of jour-nalists during the conference, he said that they have been listening to the long march of the opposition parties for a long time but the opposition parties are not on one page, so there is no danger to the gov-ernment from any protest or march of the opposi-tion.
Governor Punjab said that the incumbent govern-ment does not want to clash with the opposition on any issues but we have always invited the opposi-tion to negotiate on national issues but the opposi-tion is not ready to talk to the government. Opposi-tion parties are asked to talk to the government on national issues, instead of engaging in politics of confrontation and anarchy as all political parties have a responsibility to play their part in the devel-opment and prosperity of Pakistan, he added.
In response to the question of making South Punjab a separate province, Chaudhry Sarwar said that from day one I am in favor of making South Punjab a separate province and even today I think that South Punjab should be a separate province. I want to make Punjab a separate province but everyone knows that legislation is needed in the parliament to make South Punjab a separate province and the opposition is not ready to go along with the gov-ernment on this issue, he added.
