LAHORE: The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is trying to fulfill the enemy’s agenda by spreading anarchy in the country, Chief Minister Usman Buzdar said in a statement here on Friday.

He said the opposition parties were following their individual agendas to save their political future. On the other hand, the chief minister asserted the foundation of a transparent Pakistan has been laid under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The PTI-led government is the most transparent as not a single scandal has surfaced in two-and-a-half years, he emphasised. Those who were engaged in the politics of allegations had no future and “it’s tragic that the opposition is trying to divide the nation for some political gains,” he said.

Mr Buzdar stressed that the propagandists should realise the fact that people cannot be deceived through hollow claims as they have fully recognized the duplicity of the opposition.

The chief minister stressed the country was passing through a critical phase as the enemy was conspiring to destabilise Pakistan. The opposition was showing a non-serious attitude, he said. Every Pakistani is duty-bound to prefer national interest as personal interest has no worth before the interest of the State.

The opposition should also give preference to the national interest as the country demands unity. Pakistan is our only identity and we should not indulge in anything that could bring a bad name to the country, he concluded.

Meanwhile, Special Assistant to the CM on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said that the PDM was responsible for an increase in coronavirus cases as they took unwise decisions.
