Punjab Governor Sardar Latif Khan Khosa said on Monday that in the coming elections, the Punjab government would see its strength, adding that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) only believed in the politics of stubbornness.
Addressing a delegation of journalists from the Sargodha Press Club at the Governor’s House, he said that the PML-N had not learnt a single lesson from the past and it was still engaging in negative politics.
“Not a single megawatt (MW) was added to the national grid from 1996 to 2008. Electricity demand increased but production remained the same during the period. We have added 3,000 MW to the national grid from 2008-2011 and load shedding will ease in the coming months,” he added.
Speaking about the doctors’ confrontation with the government, he said that if legitimate demands of doctors were not accepted, it would cause brain drain which would not be good for the country.
He said, “If the Punjab government promises any segment of society and then forgets it, it will naturally lead to protests.” He added that he had written a letter to the Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, asking him to accept legitimate demands being made by doctors.
