The Governor said that during the previous tenure of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, more than 0.5 million laptops were given to deserving students on merit. This scheme has been relaunched and this month more than 3000 students of the IUB will be given laptops on merit, he expressed. He said that the superiority of merit was the distinction of the Pakistan Muslim League (N). He said that PTI used the youth generation to promote hatred, adding, we will not allow the spread of hatred among the people of Pakistan through social media.
He said that laptops had been provided to the youth on merit and their political affiliation was with any party.
The Governor Punjab said that according to the report of Transparency International, corruption had increased during the tenure of PTI.

Strict action will be taken against any irregularity, he maintained. He said that the teachers and students of the IUB were respectable and would not let affect their reputation.
