When asked about the PML-Q, Sarwar said Pakistan Muslim League Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) is a strong ally of the government and wishes to see Pakistan prosper and progress, adding that Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has never talked about overthrowing Federal or provincial governments.
Sarwar said reservations of the ally like PML-Q will be addressed and they will be taken on board on all matters.
On permission to PML-N leadership to fly abroad, he said the matter pertained to the Interior ministry and the federal government.
Vis-a-vis Punjab Aab-e-Pak Authority, Chaudhry Sarwar said that 1500 projects are being executed expeditiously and will be completed by December 2021 through which almost 8 million people will get clean drinking water in the first phase.
