Law and order situation much better in Punjab as compared to other provinces

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Privatization Daniyal Aziz Monday said law and order situation was much better in Punjab as compared to other provinces.

Talking to a private news channel, he said Punjab government was leading in providing modern facilities to masses and had launched several welfare projects for them including Orange Line Train, Metro bus, Solar system and road infrastructure.

The minister said terrorism was controlled through implementing National Action Plan (NAP) and many criminals were arrested, adding Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif had focused on development and establishing peace in the province.

He said in 2013 it was happened first time in the history of the country that a democratic government had smoothly transferred power to another elected government.

Replying to a question, he said Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were supporting Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) protest which was announced by its chief as they were working on one point agenda to destabilise the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) government.

Daniyal Aziz said in the past PAT chief Tahir-ul-Qadri had used derogatory language against Asif Ali Zardari and Imran Khan but now they were united against the government.

He said Kasur incident was tragic but political parties were doing politics on it, adding Asif Ali Zardari should focus on Sindh government where such incidents often happened.
