Parvez Elahi vows to stand with Imran Khan through thick & thin

LAHORE, Dec 13, (SABAH): Provincial Minister Muhammad Latif Nazar called on Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi at his office and discussed matters of mutual interest, political situation and development work in Faisalabad.

Latif Nazar also apprised the CM Punjab about the departmental performance and noted that record development was done in the previous tenure of Parvez Elahi and now wonderful steps have been taken in a short period.

The CM asserted that improving the quality of life of the common man was the focal point of the incumbent government. Whenever Allah Almighty gave me the post of the chief minister, I have worked tirelessly to provide relief to the poor and am doing such things that the people will always remember, he added.

Parvez Elahi asserted that he has promoted positive political traditions and never indulged in the politics of revenge like PML-N. Chairman PTI Imran Khan is the most popular leader of Pakistan; he stated and vowed to stand with him through thick and thin.

Instead of a one-man show, I am taking the whole team with me; he added and noted that the exploitation of hidden natural reserves was imperative to strengthen the economy. Sustained reforms have been introduced to promote the mineral sector, and for the first time in the history of Punjab, the mineral sector was being developed on modern lines, the CM said.

Parvez Elahi deplored that the mines and mineral sector was neglected in the past. Huge claims were made, but not even an iota of benefit was gained, he added. The incumbent government has given special attention to this sector and a uniform policy has been adopted in respect of mining leases. The potential of the mineral sector will be fully exploited as the use of local minerals will promote the indigenous industry while providing employment opportunities; the CM noted and assured to provide every possible facility to the people associated with the mining sector.
