People of other provinces are envious of Punjab CM Maryam, says Azma Bukhari

Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari said on Thursday that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s performance was so impressive that now the people living in other provinces of the country wanted her to be their chief minister, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

Lashing out at Malik Ahmad Khan Bhachar, she said the man who did not know the facts was the opposition leader in the Punjab Assembly. 

Azma further said that journalists were dodged by promising them plots in the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA). “Not a single penny will be demanded from any journalist for a plot in the Journalists Society Phase-II,” she assured. 

She claimed that the Health Card and Kissan Card projects were initiated by the PML-N government. “On the other hand, all projects, which the PTI government had announced, were for the media consumption.” 

Referring to Bachar’s statement, the minister said he had said that smog towers had been installed in Lahore during the PTI government. “But there is no such thing as a smog tower,” she said, adding, “Students were only befooled in the name of PTI’s ‘Honehar Scholarship Programme.”

PTI, she went on to say, only gave petrol bombs to children due to which they ended up in jail. 

“Yes, there was a mention of air ambulances and electronic buses during the PTI government, but it was restricted only to papers,” Azma said, adding, “A total of 600 homes were built under the PTI’s ‘Naya Pakistan’ project. But no one lived in them. Now they have turned into ruins.”   

The minister said jokingly that she would take Bhachar to an eye specialist so that he could see developing Punjab.
