"Overseas Pakistanis are an asset for the country and their problems will be solved not in years but days," he assured.

The Punjab governor said that when Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) came to power, it was talk of the town that Pakistan was at the verge of bankruptcy.

While Lahore High Court has also decided to exonerate overseas Pakistanis' case within six months and 60 per cent of 20,000 such cases has so far been decided. The campaign of clean and green Pakistan was continuing, he added.

The governor said that people had given a five-year mandate to the PTI under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan. The government was not afraid of opposition's threat and the next general election would be held as per schedule.
