LAHORE: Lahore-31 President Pakistan Muslim League-N Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Monday presided over PML-N’s parliamentary board meeting of Sargodha division here.

Interviews of different candidates were conducted for the upcoming elections.

Addressing the meeting, the chief minister said that the PML-N was deep-rooted in masses and the party had promoted politics of public service. In fact, the PML-N is the largest and most popular political party in the country and public service, honesty, trust and transparency are its hallmarks, he added.

The present tenure of the PML-N government was the golden period of country’s history as the number of projects started and completed by the PML-N government had no resemblance in the 70 years history of the country. He said that candidates having the passion for public service would be given priority and the PML-N would achieve success with the support of masses.

He pointed out that promises made with the people have been fulfilled by eradicating the menace of load-shedding and terrorism. Similarly, savings to the tune of billions of rupees in different development projects is another achievement of the party, he added.

Shehbaz Sharif said that promises made with the people in the party manifesto have been fulfilled and masses would make politics of public service a success in the upcoming elections. He said that the PML-N leadership has worked very hard to serve people and due to the untiring efforts made by the government, Punjab province is leading other provinces with regard to development and prosperity. Shehbaz Sharif vowed that he will continue to serve masses till the last drop of his blood and added that no one can sever his relation with people. The projects completed in our tenure are an example of its own.

On the contrary, he said the political opponents remained engrossed in making hollow claims and did not serve the masses. After a passage of five years, the PML-N is proudly standing with its head high in the court of the public, concluded Shehbaz Sharif.

Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, former federal and provincial ministers including Khawaja Saad Rafique, Rana Tanvir Hussain, Khurram Dastagir Khan, Ch Tanvir, Ahsan Iqbal and others attended the meeting. APP
