LAHORE: Spokesman of Punjab Government Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan on Tuesday said that there was no comparison of KPK and Punjab government for transparency in development schemes.

Addressing a press conference here, he said that during the current fiscal year Punjab able to save an amount of Rs.275 million in purchasing of 37 medicines while the KPK government, on the contrast not only procured medicines on higher rates but the companies under contract were also of low ranking.

Naming PTI chief as "Khipal Khan", a talkative character of British novelist George Meredith, the spokesman said that Imran Khan was only used to talking and he never bothered to complete development projects. First they were habitual of making verbal lies but now they entered in written lies regime, on the other hands politics by Chief Minister Punjab based on public service, he said.

The spokesman said that after criticizing metro bus and metro train project the KPK and the Sindh government both were following Punjab. "I ask if metro bus project was not necessary in Punjab then why now KPK government has launched same project in Peshawar and why CM Sindh tried to convince Chinese government to include Karachi Metro train project in CPEC," he wondered.
