LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is a role model for other provincial chief ministers, claiming that era of development, prosperity, and peace returned to Punjab under the leadership of the incumbent chief minister.
Talking to the media, Azma enumerated the initiatives taken by the Punjab government, including the Kisan Card, electric bikes, scholarships, and the “Dhee Rani Program,” saying Maryam Nawaz has launched a network of public welfare projects extending from Central Punjab to Southern Punjab. New roads are being constructed across the province, and electric buses have also been introduced in Punjab.
She highlighted that landmark initiatives like the “Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar” scheme and the provision of free cancer medicines are hallmarks of Maryam Nawaz’s leadership. Moreover, her “Khushal Punjab” and “Suthra Punjab” projects are advancing effectively.
Azma Bokhari criticized the previous government, saying that for four years, Punjab’s resources were mercilessly exploited by Gogi, Pinky, and the captain’s regime. However, Maryam Nawaz is now addressing the injustices done to the people of Punjab during those years. She emphasized that Maryam Nawaz is introducing new initiatives for every segment of society.
The Minister further remarked that the opposition is more focused on maligning Maryam Nawaz rather than showcasing their performance. Maryam Nawaz’s growing popularity among the youth is solely due to her remarkable work and dedication.
