Our sole agenda is selfless service to people: Shehbaz

LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif Friday said that every tenure of Pakistan Muslim League-N government was reflective of golden principles of public service, honesty, trust and transparency.

"We have, in fact, spent a lifetime in the journey of public service," he added.

Talking to a delegation of the PML-N activists in  London, he said those who had showed the worst performance  in their province were trying to hoodwink people by telling lies. "Sit-in group has conspired to stop the journey of public service," he said.

Imran Niazi, he said, had lost his creditability among the public by telling lies and continuous indulgence in baseless allegations. In fact, he said, he had set a world-record of taking U-turns.

The chief minister said, an attempt was made to obstruct the process of national development and prosperity of the people through sit-ins, adding that due to stubbornness and obstinacy of these elements, people had to bear great losses as a result of delay in the development projects.

He said the elements opposing the nation would have to face the wrath of the people in the elections of 2018. He said the politics of deceit, anarchy and baseless allegations had damaged the national interest.

He said that energy crisis, sagging economy and ruined institutions were the gifts of past corrupt rulers who mercilessly plundered the hard-earned money of the poor and made a dacoity on their rights.

The chief minister said that people could only be served through hard work, honesty and trust, while negative politics always distracts the nation. "Our sole agenda is selfless service of 22 crore people of Pakistan and all will have to move in unison to move the country forward," concluded the chief minister.
