CM Ch Parvez Elahi inaugurated the ‘Go Punjab App, Moonis Elahi, Dr. Arsalan Khalid and Omar Sarfaraz Cheema participated in the ceremony

Lahore, October 15, 2022 (PPI-OT):Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi formally inaugurated the ‘Go Punjab’ App at the Punjab Information Technology Board. Former Federal Minister Moonis Elahi, Provincial Minister for Information Technology Dr Arsalan Khalid, Adviser to CM on Home Omar Sarfaraz Cheema, Secretaries of concerned departments and the senior officials of PITB were also present on the occasion. CM while addressing the launching ceremony of ‘Go Punjab’ app said that the Punjab Information Technology Board has served different departments in a short span of time and has achieved a big milestone by making an app. He said that when he had assumed the office of the Chief Minister then the province had no department of Information Technology.

He disclosed that he had established the Information Technology department in 2005 and laid the foundation stone of IT Tower on 3rd July 2006. The place where we are now had a vegetable market situated earlier. We shifted the poor people working at this place to some other place and provided them with livelihood. He apprised that we will make a 600 bedded hospital and an emergency on the adjacent land of IT Tower. We have also chalked out a plan to make a helipad to shift the injured in case of any accident occurring at the Motorway or at the Ring Road. Our projects are for the future and their benefits will reach the common man. He stated that he had also started the number plate projects of the vehicles in 2005 and sent for the number plate’s model from California.

Unfortunately Shehbaz Sharif after coming into power soon stopped the work on IT Project like my other projects. The Chairman P and D of that time Salman Ghani apprised Shehbaz Sharif that the building of this project had been given to the Chinese government on a contract. The Chinese government had filed a case against the Punjab government at that time and due to the incompetence of Shehbaz Sharif the Punjab government had to give rupees 41 crore and then that project started. He said that he tried to get back rupees 41 crore through the court.

It was a great misfortune that the project had to incur a loss of rupees 41 crore due to Shehbaz Sharif. CM said that the common man will be greatly benefitted with the facility of ‘Go Punjab’ app and will eliminate bribery with the provision of online services. The women present in the houses can also benefit from the ‘Go Punjab’ app. Our government has provided facilities to every citizen and to every house through the ‘Go Punjab’ app. Employment opportunities will also be generated with the inclusion of the services of a private sector in the ‘Go Punjab’ app. ‘Go Punjab’ app is a magnificent step of our government to provide facilities to the people. He maintained that the Qaumi Sehat Card is a flagship program of the Chairman PTI Imran Khan and through this app the information relating to Qaumi Sehat Card and the hospitals will also be provided to the citizens.

The copy of FIR, lost report and the payment of E Challan can also be made through the ‘Go Punjab’ app. The payment of traffic challans, payment of rent and registration of domestic servants can also be done through the’ Go Punjab’ app. death, birth, marriage and divorce certificates can also be obtained by the Go Punjab app along with the payment of professional, token, property tax, e auction, transfer of vehicles and their registration can also be done through this app. E- stamp paper, Fard Malkiyet, and the payment of mutation fee can also be done through this app. The farmers can pay the fee E- abiyana and the industrialists can pay the business registration fee through the Go Punjab app.

The information relating to the booking of Punjab Tourism Corporation Rest Houses and other details can also be obtained through the Go Punjab app. Route Permit fee and fitness certificate can also be obtained through the Go Punjab app. Go Punjab app can also be used for the registration of private schools. Under the Punjab Ehsas Rashan Program registration can also be done on the Go Punjab app. Go Punjab app not only of Punjab but of Pakistan is the first public sector app of its own distinctive feature.

Lacs of citizens sitting at their homes can benefit from the services being provided by the government through the Go Punjab app. Go Punjab app will save the time and money of the citizens and the service delivery will improve. The caravan of Go Punjab app will not stop and further services will also be provided to the citizens through this app. CM on the launching of Go Punjab app felicitated the Provincial Minister Information Technology Board Dr. Arsalan Khalid, DG IT Faisal Yousaf and their team on their excellent performance.

Provincial Minister Information Technology Board Dr. Arsalan Khalid said that according to the vision of Chairman PTI Imran Khan and CM Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi it is our mission to empower the youth through technology.

Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari appeals for vote to PPP and PDM candidate in Sunday’s by-elections adding that demarche issued to US Ambassador

Karachi, October 15, 2022 (PPI-OT):Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party and Federal Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has called the by-elections in various constituencies of the country including Karachi city as important and appealed to the people to support PPP and the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) candidates.

Addressing a press conference at Bilawal House Karachi, the PPP Chairman said that due to the flood, he could not focus on the by-election, because since the flood situation has arisen in the country, this issue has been his priority. He said that many districts are under water even today, and he is trying to collect maximum support for the rehabilitation of the affectees.

He said that we will work for the reconstruction of devastated houses, agriculture, irrigation systems and other infrastructure as well as rehabilitation of the affected population. Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that he hopes that during the by-elections, the people will take revenge for stealing their votes in 2018 and cast their votes on Teer. He said that if opponent wins he will resign the next day, while PPP candidate Ali Musa and Abdul Hakeem Baloch will serve the people from the next day.

The PPP Chairman said that an old man had arrived in Karachi yesterday and said that he would bring freedom to Sindh after a long march and stressed that people should not be deceived by Imran Khan, because this person was telling lies before and is still telling lies today. He said that Imran Khan had made irresponsible statements regarding the country’s nuclear assets in the past, causing the greatest damage to the democratic and economic existence of the people as well as Pakistan’s foreign policy.

He pointed out that Imran Khan kept chanting “same page, same page” for three and a half years before 2022, but everything has been forgotten after he was ousted from the government through democratic means. He said that Imran Khan does not want to give freedom to the nation but to take away their rights, and wants to impose restrictions on journalism and run institutions like his so-called tiger force.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the effect of undemocratic experiments in the country has been reversed forever, now it is important to trust the decision of the people and not to repeat the experiment with selected puppets. He said that whenever the people of Pakistan get a chance, the false narrative will lose and the truth will win ultimately.

In response to a question asked during the press conference, the Foreign Minister expressed surprise at President Joe Biden’s statement regarding Pakistan’s nuclear assets and said that after consulting with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Bloom has been issued an official demarche. It was decided to summon him to office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He further clarified that all international standards laid down by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are being followed regarding the safety and security of Pakistan’s nuclear assets.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari pointed out that if there are questions regarding the security and safety of nuclear assets, such questions should be asked from India, which recently accidentally fired a missile on Pakistani soil, which is not only irresponsible but the move is highly risky and also raises questions about India’s ability to safeguard its nuclear arsenal.

The Foreign Minister of Pakistan said that the reason for the above statement of the US President may be a misunderstanding due to previous lack of engagements, but fortunately, now the two countries have embarked on the journey of restoring relations. He said that if the safety of nuclear weapons had been a real concern, it would have been raised during meetings with him. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that this statement of President Biden came out in an informal ceremony which was not the President’s address to the nation or any such formal ceremony.

The PPP Chairman reminded that former President Asif Ali Zardari had built his foreign policy on “Trade, not Aid” during his tenure and Pakistan established relations with the United States as well as China. He brought his relations to a historic level and ties with Russia were restored only through President Asif Ali Zardari after decades. He added that Imran Khan had tried to pursue a policy, which resulted in damage to our relations with allies in neighbouring countries and Arab states, which we are trying to rectify. Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, provincial ministers Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, Sharjeel Inam Memon, Saeed Ghani and Waqar Mehdi were also present during the press conference.
