The federal cabinet approved the amendment in the number of union councils after which the federal government notified the increase in the number of UCs in the federal capital territory.

The notification stated that under the Local Bodies Act the demarcation of Union Councils must be based on the population figures of Islamabad thus the number of union councils is to be increased to 125 from the existing 101.

Nawaz Sharif will soon come back to country: Maryam Nawaz

Nawaz Sharif coming to Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Vice President of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Maryam Nawaz on Thursday said that Maryam Nawaz said that Nawaz Sharif is coming back soon, and the conspirators who removed Nawaz Sharif are now sitting far away.

According to the details, these statements of Maryam Nawaz came out during a presser after not being found guilty on the Avenfield reference. “I saw a reversal of a decision and Allah was in my sight. Lying has a shelf-life but it ends like today. It has been 7 years Mian Saab faced a case for 6 years in which he was not a party,” she said.

“When the PANAMA case erupted, Nawaz Sharif said that he will face this accountability case. Even his loved ones said this is not a legal case, it is a trap for you to disqualify. But Nawaz Sharif wanted to face this case and said his whole family will face this,” She claimed.

“Imran Khan, Whose 26 years of politics is based on Nawaz Sharif. Today I want to see his face as what does he have to say now?” Maryam Nawaz inquired.

She said that Ishaq Dar returned on the Prime Minister’s plane on which he had gone, but the president of the same party who made the accusation swore an oath to Ishaq Dar.

She claimed that Imran khan is a foreign-funded agent who took dollars from foreign countries to conspire against Pakistan. “Imran khan came to the government by foul playing against Nawaz Sharif.”

“When he knew that in Vote of Confidence he’s losing, he started the conspiracy game against his opposition. And now the audio leaks proved that he only wished to play game with the hatched conspiracy verdict.”

She asked whether Imran Khan has considered the country as Gaddafi stadium. “Is national security, national interests, foreign policy a game?”

Maryam also reminded us that when the IMF deal was about to be completed, Shaukat Tarin said to the Punjab and KP minister of finance to write a letter to the IMF so that Pakistan should not receive the money.

“If Pakistan didn’t receive this money the country would have defaulted,” She said.

Based on the conspiracy with Azam Khan he (Imran Khan) violated the oath of a prime Minister and conspired against the interest of Pakistan’s security. “He criticized blatantly the national institutions and your Chief of Staff reads a written letter on a live TV show and talked about division inside the Pakistan Army.”

“Five billion were collected for the flood affectees on social media and are being distributed on social media too. Imran Khan only goes for a photo session in helicopters.”

PTI’s Performance Much Better As Compared To PML-N: PM Imran

It Is Unfair To Pressurize Pakistan To Reduce Its Relations With China: PM

Prime Minister Imran Khan has on Wednesday pointed out the difference between the overall performance of the incumbent government and the then Pakistan Muslime League-Nawaz (PML-N) government for the past 10 years.

In a tweet today, the premier said that in the last 31 months of the PTI government in Punjab anti-corruption recovered Rs 220 billion.

“The difference in anti-corruption dept Punjab’s performance during PTI govt & PMLN’s 10 yrs is clearly visible in the results achieved so far. In the last 31 mths of our govt in Punjab anti-corruption recovered Rs 220 bn, in contrast to the dismal record of PMLN govt’s 10 yrs,” he wrote.

The Prime Minister also compared the recoveries of the state land and indirect cash recovery during PML-N’s tenure and that of the Imran Khan-led government.

He wrote, “State land worth Rs.192 bn recovered as compared to Rs 2.6 bn worth state land recovery under PMLN’s 10 yrs. Cash recovery is Rs 2.35 bn as compared to only Rs 430 mn during PMLN’s 10 yrs. Indirect cash recovery now stands at Rs 26 bn in contrast to zero during PMLN’s last 10 yrs.”

He further said that since the PTI government took its charge in 2018, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has recovered Rs 484 billion in contrast to only Rs 290 billion recovered during 1999 – 2017.

“The same contrast is there in NAB’s performance. Between 2018-2020 of our govt’s tenure, NAB recovered Rs 484 bn in contrast to only Rs 290 bn recovered during 1999 – 2017. When govt doesn’t protect criminals & allows accountability to work without interference, results achieved,” the other tweet read.

Earlier, Prime Minister Imran Khan had said that millions of people in the world have fallen below the poverty line due to coronavirus.

He had said poor and underdeveloped countries were more affected than the developed ones.

Imran Khan had also paid special tribute to Dr Sania Nishtar, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Social Security and the team of the Ehsaas Program.

The premier had further added that the countries which helped the affected class in a quick, transparent and coordinated manner, Pakistan’s Ehsaas program included in it according to the World Bank.

“If the Ehsaas program had not been introduced, our weaker sections would have faced more trouble,” he said.

He said that transparency was maintained because the technology was used in the Ehsaas program.
