Maryam Nawaz, PML-N’s nominee for Punjab CM, reveals five-year game plan
“I know I have big shoes to fill,” she said.
Maryam Nawaz, PML-N’s nominee for Punjab CM, on Wednesday revealed a five-year game plan!
In her address to the media after PML-N’s parliamentary party meeting, Maryam Nawaz said: “A new era will usher in Punjab. I congratulate the PML-N for securing victory [and gaining a majority in the Punjab Assembly].”
“This was a tough election, I thank the people of Punjab for providing us with a clear majority. We will set records of service; I haven’t rested since the election results, all of us will have to work as a team,” she added.
Maryam, who holds the portfolios of PML-N’s senior vice-president and chief organiser, if voted into power, will become the first woman to be elected as a chief minister in the country’s seven-decade-plus history.
She added that it was a huge honour for her to be nominated as Punjab’s first chief minister and dedicated it to the “daughters, mothers, sisters, and reserved seats’ women”.
PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz said there is a “clear majority”, close to 2/3 majority, of the party in the Punjab Assembly.
“I have worked on the Safe Punjab Programme; we’ll have to expand the Safe City Project to all cities. To improve the environment of police stations for women, we will be making model women police stations,” she said.
She went on to add that her government would also address the problem of traffic in Lahore. Lamenting that there’s no IT city across the country, she vowed to establish five of them across the province.
“We will also deliver marriage, death, and car certificates to people’s homes,” she said, adding that her government would also grant interest-free loans to the youth.
“We’ll redesign health cards and ensure treatment at private and public hospitals,” she added.
“We will make one hundred thousand houses for the poor, provide interest-free loans to the youth and merit-based scholarships to young students to study abroad,” Maryam Nawaz maintained.
Addressing a party meeting in Lahore’s Jati Umra, she also congratulated PML-N MPAs on their successful election and praised the inclusion of young MPAs among the lot.
