Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz announced Thursday that the price of a 10kg flour bag would be reduced by Rs160 to Rs490.
“There has been no governor in the province for a month and a half,” the Punjab chief minister said at a press conference in Lahore’s Model Town. I haven’t had a cabinet in over a month and a half.”
“Listen to me, Imran Niazi, no one can stop me from working for the people,” he said to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan.
He also accused Imran Khan of playing with people’s fate for four years, claiming that people had to stand in long lines to buy sugar, which had become scarce due to Imran Khan’s poor policies.
He also accused Imran Khan of sowing chaos in the name of politics, asking, “What does Imran Khan want to do with the country?”
He also claimed that Imran Khan wanted to divide the army, saying, “The institutions should take note of Imran Khan’s statement about army men’s families participating in his long march.”
“I tell the people not to follow this imposter,” he said. He has yet to respond to his theft of Tosha Khana.”
He also claimed that Imran Khan was hostile to Pakistan and urged people to keep an eye on him.
“The country would have become a banana republic by now if the court had not opened at 12 o’clock at night,” said the chief minister.
Hamza Shehbaz lamented that people had been inconvenienced by inflation for the last four years, adding that the dollar had reached Rs200 due to Imran Khan.
“I will always stand by the people of Punjab,” Hamza promised, announcing that a 10kg flour bag would be available in Punjab for Rs490 starting today.
He also stated that the government had gathered a one-year supply of wheat, which was purchased from farmers for Rs2,200 per 40kg.
“I will stay in this position as long as Allah wills,” the CM said, adding that officers in the police and other departments would be appointed on merit.
He also chastised President Arif Alvi and former Punjab governor Umar Sarfraz Cheema for breaking the law.
