LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and Punjab Chief Minister’s spokesperson Shahbaz Gill on Sunday said Usman Buzdar was a powerful chief minister who was performing his responsibilities very well, ARY News reported.

“Prime Minister Imran Khan has full trust on Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar,” Shahbaz Gill said in a response to Pakistan People’s Party MPA Hassan Murtaza’s statement.

He said Punjab had its resources and the claim that all the resources were under the federation’s control was nothing but an attempt to evade truth.

The Punjab Chief Minister’s spokesperson said Murtaza should first give account of his leaders’ plundering of national wealth.

“His party leadership has full share in plight of people of Sindh,” he said.

He said 22 crore people of the country knew all about ‘Mr 10 Percent’.

Gill said he wanted to inform the PPP leader that Punjab was in safe hands.
