LAHORE:Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has said those who sow the seeds of hypocrisy will have to pay a heavy price for their deeds.

In a statement issued here on Tuesday, he warned the opposition that agitational politics was detrimental to the national unity right now and advised it to be patient as there would be enough time for politics in future.

The government would firmly deal with the no-confidence stunt, he said, adding those who dream during the day and conspire at night would fail.

He said that on one side is a bunch of ‘corrupt’ politicians and on the other is a visionary and fearless leader like Imran Khan who could take Pakistan forward. The government would continue to compete with the corrupt mafia, he said.

Meanwhile, on the direction of the chief minister, a second Ehsaas Dastarkhan was introduced to feed the poor and daily-wage earners in Multan. DC Amir Karim inaugurated the public facility at the social welfare department.
