Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari on Thursday said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has never played the “provincial card, canal card, or dam card,” stressing that the party has always prioritized national development over regional politics.
Responding to a statement by Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Memon, Azma Bukhari said the PML-N was a national party that believed in national thinking. She pointed out that within just one and a half years, the Punjab government had launched 80 development projects, calling it a “revolutionary step” in the province’s progress.
Taking a jibe at the PPP, she said that in the 17 years of its rule, the condition of Karachi and Sindh had remained deplorable. She further criticized the PPP’s handling of the last flood in Sindh, noting that widespread destruction persisted despite foreign aid, while Punjab still remembers the role played by the PPP during its own flood crisis.
It is worth mentioning that Sharjeel Memon had earlier termed the PML-N and Punjab government’s campaign in support of Rizwan Razi as “regrettable.”
