Summary "The PML-N is investing on iron rods and cement while we're investing on people", he said
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should tell how much has he contributed in the building of ‘new Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’, Dunya News reported.
Talking to the media after examining the Tsunami Billion Tree project, PTI chairman said this project is vital for Pakistan’s future, adding that such an attempt has never been made in the past.
He said the government will complete the project of planting as many as one billion trees in five years.
Imran Khan said plantation of these trees will make jungles 10 times larger than Changa Manga and that the target will be achieved by the year 2017.
He said the primary difference between the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is that the former is building projects while the latter is ‘building institutions’.
“The PML-N is investing on iron rods and cement while we’re investing on people”, he said.
The PTI chief said it appears that National Assembly (NA) Speaker Ayaz Sadiq’s wicket is about to fall for the third time. He said people’s rights are stolen if transparent elections are not held.
It merits mentioning here that PM Nawaz had stated on Tuesday that it was the federal government of Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) that was making a Naya Pakistan (New Pakistan) in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa (KP).
Earlier on Tueday, PM Nawaz laid the foundation stone of Balloki Power Plant which is going to produce 1223 Megawatt electricity upon completion in 2017, reported Dunya News.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the Balloki Power Plant, PM said that unprecedented savings are being secured in these projects while no corruption, kickbacks or commission is involved in these projects. He said that the amount saved from these plants will be invested in other projects. "Such projects haven’t been produced in the past", he said.
PM added that transparency was maintained in the tenders of these projects. "New tradition of honesty and fairplay are being established in the country", added the PM.
