LODHRAN: Prime Minister of Pakistan Miyaan Mohammad Nawaz Sharif Friday morning announced a Rs2.5 billion development package for Lodhran and vowed swift implementation of the Kisan relief package.
“Although I have been asked to provide Rs2 billion but I will provide Rs2.5 billion for development works in Lodhran,” PM Nawaz said, while addressing farmers during his visit to Lodhran.
“No government has ever announced such a huge package for farmers in the history of Pakistan,” the premier added.
In a veiled jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, Nawaz said, “Everyone knows who has put hurdles in the implementation of the Kisan relief package”.
“We wanted to implement the Kisan relief package within a week; however, some people put hurdles in our way to support farmers,” he claimed.
Further, the prime minister announced construction of two fly overs, a commerce college, an agriculture university. PM Nawaz also announced construction of a motorway in Lodhran which he said will not only bring prosperity but will also connect the city to Karachi and Lahore.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) urged Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s announcement of development project for Lodhran, terming it part of pre-poll rigging in NA-154.
In a statement the party’s spokesman said that Prime Minister’s visit to Lodhran district, which is due to have by-poll on December 23, is an open violation of ECP code of conduct.
