Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has emphasized the need to change the system to make Pakistan progress.
He was addressing a ceremony in Lahore today after inaugurating work on the Baab-e-Pakistan project and laying the foundation stone of extension and widening project of Walton Road.
The Prime Minister urged the intelligentsia of society to work hard to make the progress possible. He said all of us will have to work day and night for the country’s prosperity.
Shehbaz Sharif said the Baab-e-Pakistan project reminds us of the great sacrifices rendered by Muslims during migration from India to Pakistan after the partition.
He said thousands of migrants stayed at Walton Migrants Camp after the partition where local people welcomed them with open hearts and arms. He said that Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had also visited this Camp during 1948.
The Prime Minister said this is his eighth visit to the site of the Baab-e-Pakistan project in the last twenty five years. He regretted that one point one billion rupees had been spent from the national exchequer on this project but that is not visible on the ground.
He said that NAB should make those people accountable, who were responsible for delaying this important project.
The Prime Minister said that this project will be completed without any further funds from the government and it will include the Central Business District to generate its own income.
In his address, the Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique said that the Bab-e-Pakistan project was properly launched in 2010, however no serious work could be done so far.
