Through a miracle of Almighty Allah, I was returned to serve Punjab in 2008, from where I had left it; but this time, I was a cancer survivor. Wherever I have traveled recently in different parts of Pakistan, Karachi, Mardan or Mattiari, people have spoken with one voice: They desire the same quality of honest, efficient governance that is present in Punjab so that like their fellow citizens in the Punjab, their lives can also be changed for the better. I say farewell with deep respect to the people of Punjab. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you with intensity of my heart and bring about a difference in your life. I have been a fighter all my life: Fighting cancer, fighting corruption, fighting ‘qabza’ mafias, fighting false allegations, and fighting for common man’s right to dignified life.
