Shehbaz to expand his development plan to all country after becoming PM

FAISALABAD: State Minister for Interior Talal Badar Chaudhry Saturday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) decided to nominate Shehbaz Sharif for the post of prime minster only because of his commitment and honesty.

He is expected to expand his development strategy to the entire country to make Pakistan stronger and prosperous in the comity of nations.

He was addressing a function, organised by Punjab Livestock Department to distribute cattle among widows and deserving women of rural areas in his constituency, NA-76.

He said that the PML-N is a politically mature party. It has 'Made in Pakistan' leadership with young leaders who could replace the old ones. He said that after Nawaz Sharif, the PML-N has Shehbaz Sharif, who has God-gifted qualities. He said that the government was not meant to get power but serve masses.

He said that the PML-N government successfully eliminated terrorism that had plagued the country. It also solved the problem of load-shedding that was hurting the industrial sector for the last two decades.

He said that the government was committed to completing the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which would give a quantum jump to national progress.

The minister distributed buffaloes and cows among 100 deserving widows and poor rural women.

MPA Rai Haider, Shoaib Idrees and Director Livestock Dr Mohammad Nawaz were also present at the function.

Later, he told the media that the decision to elevate Jaranwala as a district could be discussed after delimitation by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

He said that more than 150 villages have been provided gas and the people of this area would also harvest the benefits of CPEC.
