The PTI government has the capacity and commitment to fulfil the responsibility of protecting the rights of the citizens, he added.
On the other hand, Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar while talking to a delegation led by PTI MNA Riaz Fatiana at Governor’s House said that the opposition should abandon the policy of protest inside and outside the parliament and play its positive role for strengthening of democracy and development of the country. Prime Minister Imran Khan will not back down from his principled stand on merit and transparency in the country, he said.

He said the real challenge for the government is inflation and not the opposition.
MNA Riaz Fatiana said that the people have rejected the opposition on every front including the 2018 general elections and the opposition should also wait for the next general elections instead of creating instability in the country.
