CPEC detractors will never succeed: Governor Punjab

LAHORE: Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar has said that those hatching conspiracies against China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) were the enemies of Pakistan’s development they would never succeed.

He expressed these views while talking to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) central worker Hamid Zaman, and Sheraz Cheema, Shoaib Salman, Mian Waheed and Asima Bajwa from PTI Youth Wing and more than 15 delegations from various districts of Punjab at the Governor House. Sarwar said China has always supported Pakistan in time of difficulty and the second phase of CPEC will expedite the pace of economic development of Pakistan as millions of people will get jobs in economic zones.

He said the PTI has always done the politics of principles and ideology and will continue with this mission in future to make Pakistan a developed and prosperous country.

Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said the provision of maximum relief to people is the top priority of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf for which federal and provincial governments have launched the projects like Ehsas Programme and Insaf Sehat Card, and now PTI will also fulfil its promise of empowering the youth through Youth Card Programme.

“PTI is also introducing a historic local bodies system for devolution of power at the grass-root level. After the local governments’ elections, people’s problems will be resolved at their doorstep,” he said.

The governor added that Pakistan was facing numerous challenges but no world power could hinder its way forward.
