Punjab Minister for Local Government & Community Development Mian Mehmood-ul-Rashid has said that the Punjab government was paying special attention to the development of areas that had been neglected in the past and on the direction of Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, development projects worth billions were being started in backward areas. He was inaugurating the newly constructed sewage drains, tuff tiles and soling at village Dhul Chor Qila Sauda Singh and Chak 24-1 AL in Okara the other day. PTI leaders Chaudhry Aurangzeb, Chaudhry Muhammad Ali, Shah Muhammad Baloch, Asif Baloch and other dignitaries were also present. Xen Public Health Engineering Okara while giving a briefing said that the inaugurated projects had cost more than 50 million rupees. Mian Mehmud-ur-Rashid further said that the selfish rulers had only filled their coffers by emptying the national treasury spreading their businesses all over the world. He said that Imran Khan left more than 22 billion dollars in the treasury, but the looting company emptied the treasury in a few months and there were reports that the foreign exchange reserves were now less than 6 billion dollars. Mian Mehmood-ul-Rashid further said, "the corrupt group is bankrupting the country rapidly, if the elections are not held immediately, the entire nation will suffer dire consequences." Adding, he said, "the imported rulers will go to London with their children while the poor people will be left behind. Now the nation and the country can be saved from disaster only by announcing the elections in time." The provincial minister said that the people were determined to bring their beloved leader Imran Khan back because they believed that only Imran Khan could bring Pakistan out of the current political and economic crises. Other speakers also addressed the opening ceremony.
