Opposition parties resorting to criticism for sake of criticism: CM Buzdar.

LAHORE -- Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Sunday regretted that the opposition parties are resorting only to criticism for the sake of criticism and lamented that they had inflicted distress on people, instead of providing any substantial relief, in their respective tenures.

According to a media statement issued on Sunday, he condemned that previous rulers only protected their vested interests and lured masses by hollow slogans, adding that masses want practical steps for their welfare instead of raising shallow slogans.

The CM said that coronavirus pandemic had adversely affected every segment of society and measures to safeguard interests of the weak segments have been proposed in the Punjab budget.

He said that common man has been provided relief through comprehensive planning and no government in the history of Punjab has ever provided tax relief worth Rs 56 billion.

Buzdar hoped that business activities will be promoted...
