No Attempt to Revive a Dead Horse Will Succeed: Uzma Bukhari

Lahore: Punjab Information and Culture Minister Uzma Bukhari has said that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has transformed good governance, transparency and merit into a model for the province within just two years, adding that the people of Punjab have wholeheartedly accepted her leadership.

In a statement issued from Lahore, Uzma Bukhari said Punjab was rapidly progressing, which had made political opponents increasingly anxious.

She said Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz had established good governance, transparency and the supremacy of merit as the defining features of Punjab’s administration. She added that the provincial governance model had now become a shining example for other provinces across the country.

Highlighting the provincial government’s performance, the information minister claimed that Maryam Nawaz had accomplished historic development and public welfare initiatives within just two years that had never been achieved by any other leader in the country’s history.

She said these practical measures for public welfare had earned Maryam Nawaz widespread acceptance among the people of Punjab, who had wholeheartedly embraced her as their leader.

Taking aim at political opponents, Uzma Bukhari said those creating fabricated political narratives had become a thing of the past.

“Now, no attempt to breathe life into a dead horse will succeed,” she remarked.

She said governments could neither be run through magic and superstition nor could elected governments with a public mandate be brought down through lies and negative propaganda.

The minister added that certain unemployed political figures and those without political support were struggling to find new political platforms for themselves.

Uzma Bukhari further said there was no doubt that Maryam Nawaz was currently the best-performing chief minister in the country. She alleged that some insignificant political figures were unnecessarily criticising her in a desperate attempt to gain political relevance.

She said the Punjab government would not pay attention to baseless propaganda by its opponents and would instead focus all its energies on the province’s prosperity, reducing inflation and improving the living standards of the people.
