LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaf (PTI) leader Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar has said that state’s institutions have failed to deliver and Pakistan has become ‘Masailistan’. Addressing a gathering at a medical camp here on Sunday, Sarwar, who has also served as Punjab governor, said corruption and bad governance had become cancer for Pakistan and the country could not move ahead without eradication of corruption. He underlined that his party – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) – under the leadership of Imran Khan would never abstain from giving any sacrifice in the ‘war on corruption’. Criticising the government for its ‘failed’ policies, Sarwar said that all key institutions had failed to deliver and the problems facing common man had been exacerbated. “Inflation and poverty have become a horrific dream for the nation due to bad governance by incumbent rulers,” he said. He held the PML-N government responsible for what he said the country was being pushed towards isolation despite rendering sacrifices in the war on terrorism. Sarwar ensured the nation of serving the humanity by holding medical camps for free-of-cost treatment of the poor people. As many as 300 patients were examined and given medicines free of cost. Prominent figures of the provincial constituency PP-156, including Umer Talib, Ramzan Khan, Abid Watoo and Mian Asif also participated in the medical camp and appreciated the efforts of the PTI and its leadership for holding medical camp for facilitating poor patients with free medicines.
