LAHORE, Jan 21 (INP): Punjab Chief Minister (CM), Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan is engaged in politics of allegation, leg pulling and hasn’t any time for welfare of masses and development of the country. Speaking at a ceremony after inaugurating the renovation of Bab-e-Pakistan in Lahore on Sunday, Shehbaz Sharif said that Bab-e-Pakistan will be a grand project, to be accomplished at the cost of Rs14 billion and it will highlight the sacrifices rendered by the people during Pakistan Movement. He said that if masses re-elected Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in next general election, it will initiate development projects in Karachi and Peshawar as it started in Lahore and will bring Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provinces in par with Punjab. The CM said that if given opportunity will complete Peshawar Metro Bus Project within a year. He criticized the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for failure to recover the looted money and claimed that PML-N will bring back the plundered national wealth whether it was in Swiss banks or any other foreign country. Shehbaz further stated that he will quit politics if corruption of a single penny was proved against him. Taking jibe at PTI chief Imran Khan, he said that the former leveled serious allegations against him but failed to give reply when was served legal notice to prove his blames. The Chief Minister said that flopped rally of Mall Road Lahore was a slap on the faces of the joint opposition as masses rejected them for making tall claims and lip services only against the PML-N government which was taking on ground steps to facilitate the people and resolve problems faced by them. Shehbaz Sharif said that PTI chief declared Sharif Brothers as “Dengue Brothers” but when dengue gripped Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), it was PML-N and Sharif brothers who sent medical teams and medicines to cure and control the disease instead of criticizing the provincial government and PTI. Taking jibe at Pakistan People Party (PPP) leader Qamar Zaman Kaira, the Chief Minister said that PML-N government ended the load shedding in the country and the PPP leader as per his vow needed to change his name.
