Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Thursday that it was hard to expect a solution for problems from President Zardari as he himself was the root cause of these problems and that the whole nation had risen up in protest and taken to the streets against him.
He said this while replying to questions on various political, administrative and national issues by people on Facebook from all over the country.
He stated that if needed, the call for a long march to Islamabad would be given for the resolution of the people’s problems. He said that in order to get rid of the stooges of foreign powers and the plunderers of national resources, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would not hesitate to resign from the assemblies, as they had become worthless and their resolutions were not implemented.
The CM said that the goal of progress and development could be achieved only through equipping the nation with research and technology to improve economy and that revolutionary measures would have to be adopted for the improvement of the education sector.
In response to a question, he said that the NATO attack was naked aggression and a blatant terrorist act in which 28 jawans had been martyred. Strongly condemning the incident, he said that the whole Pakistani nation was standing by its armed forces and that a resolution would be moved in the Punjab Assembly against this attack. Replying to another question, the CM said that Punjab government had evolved the project of setting up Knowledge City over more than one hundred acres of land near the Lahore Ring Road and measures would be taken for the setting up of campuses of modern universities with the cooperation of developed Islamic countries like Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia and Malaysia under a public-private partnership.
He said that scholarships of Rs 1 billion had been given to thirty thousand students through the Punjab Educational Endowment Fund during last three years, while the distribution of laptops amongst talented students would begin from next month. In response to a question about the development of south Punjab, he said that sizeable funds had been allocated for the uplift of the region for the first time in the history of the country. He claimed that a 400-bed hospital was being constructed in Bahawalpur at a cost of Rs 3.5 billion.
Similarly, he said, a cardiac hospital in Multan had been made functional, while six mobile health units were extending modern health facilities to the people of remote areas. The chief minister said that a 40 percent quota had been allocated for south Punjab under the Yellow Cab Scheme.
Referring to the law and order situation and police performance, he said that honest and competent officers had been posted in the province, adding that however, the general image of the police had not improved. He said that the system of police stations and the department would be fully computerised to provide access to the people to directly inform senior police officers about any injustice committed and the performance of the local police.
