LAHORE   -  Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar Friday said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had broken three decades old status quo.

He was talking to PTI chief organiser Saifullah Khan Nyazee who called on him at his office on Friday. The CM said that the provincial government believed in principles of good governance and transparency, adding that no one was allowed to use unfair means. He said there was no allegation of corruption against the PTI government at all. “The commitment of the government is greater than the challenges,” he added.

The chief minister said that the draft of the new local government system was being given final shape as the government had planned conduct of the LG elections the following year. He promised that the LGs institution would be fully empowered. “Every citizen will be provided Sehat Insaf Health Card by the end of December in Punjab,” the CM concluded.

The PTI organiser discussed matters of mutual interest with the CM. Buzdar termed party workers a valuable asset, saying that his meeting with office-bearers and party workers had always proved very fruitful. 

“A schedule has been finalised for holding meetings with office-bearers and workers of every district,” he said and promised that ticket-holders, office-bearers and workers would be given their due status.

“A mechanism has been devised to solve problems of workers and office-bearers on a priority basis, and no injustice will be tolerated in this regard,” he added. “The genuine issues of workers will be solved,” he vowed. Saifullah Nyazee said that durable steps had been taken for development of the province as the CM believed in performance instead of political pomp and show.
