LAHORE: Punjab Minister for Human Rights and Minorities Affairs (HR&MA) Ijaz Alam Augustine held a meeting with Minister Consolidation Holdings Syed Sumsam Ali Bukhari at new minister block’s office on Thursday and discussed with him political matters, government affairs and other issues of mutual interest.
Speaking on the occasion, Ijaz Alam Augustine said that the PTI government under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan took measures which have no precedence for the elimination of corruption and ensuring transparent accountability. It has been more than one and a half years of the PTI government and no corruption scandal has so far surfaced against ministers or any other personality in the government, he mentioned.
Sumsam Bukhari said that all international institutions praised Pakistan’s economic development and reforms in various sectors, and investors from across the world are turning to Pakistan, which showed their confidence in the policies of the PTI government. He further said that the problems of 70 years cannot be resolved in mere one and a half years; however, “We will fulfill our promise of uprooting the menace of corruption and resolve all other public issues.”
They also paid tribute to martyred Wing Commander Noman Akram, who embraced Shahadat when his F-16 aircraft crashed near the Shakarparian area of the federal capital while carrying out rehearsal for the Pakistan Day Parade. They also condoled the martyrdom of the PAF officer, proposing that the March 23 Parade should be named after Wing Commander Noman Akram as a tribute.
Senior leader of PTIs Saleem Sadiq, Abdullah Tahir and other concerned persons were also present in the meeting.
