Talking to the ambassadors, Shehbaz Sharif said that government
of PML (N) had forwarded the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
and in comparison to the past, we have marked the records of selfless public service by completing development projects in the record period.
He said that Muhammad Ali Jinnah struggled for the separate homeland
so that everybody enjoys equal rights.
Pakistan has been achieved so that everyone can live with respect
and esteem through equal opportunities to excel in life. He said that during the last 4 years, PML (N) government has put the country in
right direction and soul of Quaid must be satisfied with what we have achieved.
He said that despite of all challenges, the country is moving forward on the voyage of development and prosperity likewise load shedding has ended in Pakistan due to loyal and sincere efforts. Due to load shedding
in the past, economy and daily life has been affected badly however
Punjab and Federal government jointly have established factories of
6000 megawatts of electricity as we have invested through our own resources. He said that projects in past were installed with borrowed
money and those too with a lot of delay. PML-N government has accepted
the challenge and managed its own resources. Various projects have been installed yet and few of them have been completed which is adding
thousands of megawatts of electricity in the National Grid.
The Chief Minister said that he believes that when there is a will there is a way. He said that the decisions made with consensus to fight against terrorism have brought success. There is no roam of terrorism
in Quaid’s Pakistan as this is not the fortune of Pakistanis that their children to be orphaned, brothers to be snatched away from their sisters and mothers to lose their sons.
He said that Pakistan was not achieved for all this and terrorism
is not its fate. This fallacy has internal and external causes. He said that brave armed forces of Pakistan, police, law enforcement agencies
and citizens have written a new chapter of history with their blood.
The CM said that Pakistan is the only country in International Community who has given such great sacrifices in the war against terrorism. The
fight against terrorism continues and Pakistan will win this war Insha-Allah, he vowed.
The CM said that terrorists and their facilitators have been
eliminated largely but this war has not ended yet and we will not
rest until the last terrorist is cleared. He said that if we go ahead
with collective efforts and joint acumen then success will be our
fortune. Furthermore, CM vowed that he will make the country such a peaceful and prosperous region where there won’t be any discrimination
and violence rather rule of law and merit will be the order of the day.
It will be a country which will provide its inhabitants with basic needs and none of the poor will die because of his poverty. The
difference between rich and poor will be bridged by fair distribution
of resources and we will work hard to make Pakistan independent.
He said that during the last 9 years, resources of billions of
rupees have been saved through transparency and these resources were utilized for other public welfare projects. He said that rather than financial assistance we need skill development support and expertise
from our friend countries. There is only one way of happiness and prosperity which is the way of hard-work, trust and transparency
as many nations have acquired glory by acting upon this way.
