MULTAN:Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday strongly criticized PPP co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari and PTI chief Imran Khan for misleading people and using indecent
language specially in public meetings.
Addressing a big gathering at inaugural ceremony of Multan Institute of Kidney Diseases (MIKD), Shehbaz Sharif said the national wealth was plundered during PPP last tenure.

The Chief Minister recalled that PTI chairman used to criticize Metro Bus Projects and had announced to build schools and hospitals but he failed to fulfil his promises. He said the PTI embarked on Metro Bus project which it used to lambast and now there were only ditches in Peshawar causing a great deal of inconvenience to the people.
He said that Imran used to say he would launch energy projects bigger enough to supply electricity to KPK and the country but everybody knew the PTI government did not generate even a kilowatt of electricity through any new project.
He appealed the people to vote for PML-N in the next general elections pleading that the party would bring about revolutionary reforms in the country.
He stated that they had saved over Rs one billion in various uplift projects including energy sector and completed them within minimum duration in the country's history.
On this occasion, Federal Minister for Water Resources, Javed Ali Shah said the Punjab CM was paying focus on uplift of South Punjab and took revolutionary steps in all sectors.
