Those involved in scurrilous attacks against institutio­ns will have to be answerable: Hamza Shehbaz

-

LAHORE, May 9: Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Hamza Shahbaz has asserted that those involved in scurrilous attacks against the state institutio­n will have to be answerable. No one should take the liberty to say anything offensive about the institutio­ns according to his own desire and will. A defeated person is ridiculing the state institutio­ns, constituti­on and the security of the country.

While talking to the media at the residence of MianNaveed MPA in Pakpattan, the CM argued that the steps and statements of Imran Niazi are against the security of the country. Even the friendly countries have become a victim of his vitriols and as a result, they have distanced themselves from Pakistan due to Imran Niazi; he regretted and pointed out that Imran Niazi, who claimed to become an advocate of Pakistan and Kashmir cause, has miserably failed to fulfil his commitment. Imran Niazi will have to be answerable for all his sins very soon, he stated. Imran Niazi will have to be answerable even in the court of the public, he added. To a question, the CM explained that Imran Niazi is trying to play with the constituti­on and pointed out that doors of the Supreme Court were opened to uphold the constituti­on. There would have been no constituti­on in the country if the doors of the Supreme Court were not opened in the dead of night, he added. What has been done during the last four years, except taking revenge, and creating chaos in the country while fake promises were made with the youth about employment and a circus going on in Punjab? The Punjab governor has played havoc with the constituti­on, he commented.

To another question, the CM maintained that the price hike has made people mentally sick. The government is trying to create ease in the lives of the common man and a public welfare agenda would be brought out within the next few days. A decrease in the prices of edibles would be the first part of this agenda; he disclosed and added that the murder of the father of Mian-Naveed would be investigat­ed and criminals would be taken to task.
