After PPP, Shehbaz Sharif as Chief Minister looted hefty amount of money by launching mega projects which dented the national exchequer,the challenges which were built up in last 70 years could not be resolved in a short period of time, she remarked.

Sardar Usman Buzdar had initiated many programs for the welfare of masses as he established hospitals for child and mother care, health card would be given to every deserving person even handicapped and transgenders would be included in the list which was not witnessed in last 40 years, she said.

Prime Minister Imran Khan and Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar both were determined to bring reforms in Punjab police to provide safety to the masses as it was their basic right, she mentioned.

PTI had brought the real change by introducing positive reforms throughout the country unlikely PML-N as Shehbaz governance was limited to Lahore only, she said.
