Moreover, Usman Buzdar called this initiative a huge step in the direction of a new Pakistan, and the fulfillment of another promise made by Prime Minister Imran Khan to the state. The current government had focused more on the health facilities as this area was badly ignored in previous regimes.
He added that the budget of the health zone was only Rs 169 billion in the previous government, whereas the incumbent government had made a considerable escalation and assigned Rs 399 billion in this sector.
Moreover, Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar lamented that the Opposition was merely doing politics on non-issues as these people had no schema. There was confusion in the positions of the Opposition, and the excluded features, only to earn political distance, were complaining about the sake of criticism.
He claimed that the current government had accomplished those progressive schemes which the preceding governments could not do in years. “No one will be allowed to create hindrance in the way of development,” the CM warned.
Pakistan had got an earnest and true leader in the form of Prime Minister Imran Khan, he maintained.
