ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said major development projects in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa especially motorways are a true reflection of the vision of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Quaid Nawaz Sharif.
“History shows us that if anyone has pursued the politics of service, construction, and development in this country, it is the Pakistan Muslim League which has its mark on every development project,” the minister said while addressing PML-N Youth Coordinators and office-bearers at divisional, district, and tehsil levels.
He said the name of Nawaz Sharif would be found on every major project in KP which also has a full network of motorways built by the PML-N that has May 28, Youm-e-Takbir in its credit.
“Our leader made the country’s defense impregnable by conducting nuclear tests, while on the other hand, the country has an anarchic group which did May 9, attacked its own country and harmed national defense,” said the minister while highlighting a stark contrast between the ideologies of the PML-N and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Paying tribute to the PML-N workers, he said they are ideological workers with a firm resolve for the country’s progress and security. While on other hand, there was the PTI which had defiled the statue of Captain Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed for their own political gain.
He recalled his visit to Swabi after the chaos and anarchy of May 9, where he met Captain Sher Khan Shaheed’s brother Anwar Lala, and apologized for the disrespect shown to his great brother’s statue by the miscreants.
Lauding Captain Sher Khan’s bravery, the minister cited Indian Brigadier Mohinder Pratap Singh, who praised Captain Sher Khan’s valor and sent a letter with his mortal remains that states “This was a soldier whose bravery should be praised.”
Tarar said the PTI has been in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for 11 years, but failed to even establish a Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) force in the province, let alone Safe City project, or a forensic lab.Not a single project for the public’s welfare was initiated in KP under the PTI regime, he said asking why no attention was being paid to the health sector and law and order in KP.
