TAXILA: Minister for Aviation Ghulam Sarwar Khan has said the PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif should come back, return the money or go to jail.

He was addressing a public meeting in union council Usman Khattar after inaugurating work on a development package worth Rs13 million.

Under the package, which would be completed during the current fiscal year, the minister performed the groundbreaking on the upgradation of a girls’ higher secondary school to the degree level which would be completed at a cost of Rs9.50 million.

Mr Khan said the government was making efforts to control price hike, adding poverty and unemployment would be reduced and mega development projects would also be launched in different areas.

He said all-out efforts were being made to provide relief to the citizens as Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired weekly meetings to review prices of essential commodities. Though price hike is an international phenomenon the PTI government is trying to bring down the prices particularly of food items, he added.

Mr Khan said local bodies elections would be held in March/April next year and it would be a rehearsal of the next general elections, adding due to the PTI government’s performance people would again elect the party to bring a real change.

He said the opposition was working on the agenda of enemies of Pakistan as they were trying to destabilise the country by weakening its institutions. Conspiracies to destabilise the country will fail soon.

MNA Mansoor Hayat Khan, MPA Ammar Siddique Khan and other party leaders also spoke.
