Criticising Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan, PM Nawaz said that the people have rejected ‘dirty politics’ in recent Azad Kashmir elections.

“Standing on containers is not politics,” he said, adding that the people have discarded dirty politics of PTI.

The PM further said that linking the cities and provinces with each other through motorways was his dream that is now being fulfilled.

Motorway M-4 Faisalabad-Multan is divided into four sections. Faisalabad-Gojra and Khanewal-Multan sections have already been completed, while work is underway on Gojra-Shorkot section.

The project will be completed at a cost of around 22 billion rupees in two years. After completion, the project will improve the country’s vital north-south road network and promote economic growth, create jobs and ensure regional connectivity.
