The prime minister said a sum of 470 million rupees will be spent on the provision of gas to Okara.

Similarly, a sum of 740 million rupees is being spent on construction of flyover in the city besides the improvement of roads at a cost of 200 million rupees.

"Those who have been demanding my resignation, i want to tell them, they didn't make me prime minister, go and play cricket", the PM comes hard on his critics.


They are trying to hinder the progress of this government have never thought about the nation. "One should ask them if they even thought about building motorways and developing the infrastructure of the country,"


"They will keep protesting and we will keep progressing," the prime minister added. While welcoming Abdul Razaq Niazi back to PML-N after his brief hiatus from the political party, the prime minister said: "I only make friends for forever not for part time."
