LAHORE, Nov 13: Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi would soon set up a cell which would compile a report on the performance of the government, Food Minister Chaudhry Muhammad Iqbal says.

He said in a statement here on Monday that the ruling party would proudly present its performance report to the voters at the time of election.

The minister was sure that no opposition legislator would resign from the assembly as everyone was aware that the government was ready to hold by-election on a vacant seat.

About PTI chairman Imran Khan’s announcement that he would single handedly launch a movement against the government, Mr Iqbal claimed that the cricketer-turned-politician had no political base.

He said although the opposition said on various occasions that it would launch a movement, it was not in a position to do so.

He said Gen Musharraf had done so much for the country that no campaign could be launched against him.

He said people’s representatives could never be uncivilised and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Dr Sher Afgan Niazi had been misquoted on the subject.. —Staff Reporter
