She questioned why they could not do anything for Gujrat despite serving as Deputy Prime Minister, Chief Minister, Speaker of the Punjab Assembly, and holding federal and provincial ministerial
In a statement issued from Lahore, Azma Bokhari also shared a video of Hussain Elahi. She further stated that they should answer this question first, adding that some people are deeply troubled by the work Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is doing. The people of Punjab are endorsing Maryam Nawaz's politics of public service in every by-election through their mandate.
Azma Bokhari remarked that some people are unable to digest this development. For the first time in history, Maryam Nawaz allocated Rs. 12 billion in funds for Gujrat, through which dozens of development projects have been initiated.
The Provincial Information Minister stated that these projects include the mega sewerage plan for Gujrat, alongside the recently launched Rs. 9.8 billion Gujrat-Sargodha Road project.
She added that 94.30 kilometers of roads will be constructed or rehabilitated, and 27.90 kilometers of road in Mandi Bahauddin will be dualized. During Pervaiz Elahi's tenure, only "white paper projects" were initiated for Gujrat.
She asserted that funds for those white paper projects were released, but the projects remained confined to paper and existed only in thin air. She warned that the entire family has a long history of controversies, and if prompted, she can narrate the whole story.
