MALAKWAL: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, while addressing a public gathering on Thursday in Malakwal has stated that China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was initiated in Pakistan under Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government and that Asif Zardari is falsely trying to take credit of the multi-billion dollar initiative. Criticising Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, the chief minister said that if indeed Zardari was behind CPEC than at least some of the projects should have been initiated by his government. “I have taken Imran Khan to court for his baseless allegations, he doesn’t appear before the court,” Shehbaz added. The development projects completed with commitment are examples of transparency and quality. In fact, the Punjab government is speedily moving towards attaining the goal of a prosperous Punjab, said the chief minister.
