LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari says time is over for those who govern through magic and make false promises.

In a statement issued on Sunday, she said Maryam Nawaz had lived up to the expectations of the people who buried the politics of chaos, anarchy, and instability.

“Now, the focus across Pakistan will be solely on work, work, and more work.”

The minister said the Punjab government had completed its first year while setting historic benchmarks in public service.

“Maryam Nawaz has fulfilled the aspirations of Punjab’s citizens, proving that the PML-N is synonymous with delivering on promises.”

Azma emphasized that the era of those peddling ‘imaginary plans’ and ruling through magic had ended.

“Today marks Nawaz Sharif’s era—an era dedicated to public service. Maryam Nawaz has achieved historic milestones in just one year, surpassing the accomplishments of previous governments.”

She remarked the Punjab chief minister had fundamentally transformed Pakistan’s political landscape. “In return for the mandate given by Punjab’s people, Maryam Nawaz is steering the province towards progress and development.”
