LAHORE: Punjab Food Minister Samiullah Chaudhry said on Monday that the Punjab government is facing more conspiracies from the 'snake in the grass' than the political opponents.
"I have protected my portfolio with hard work and performance. The conspiracies are going on and rumours are doing rounds but I am challenging conspirators at every front," the Punjab minister said in a press conference.
Chaudhry said that those who were not elected in polls are jealous and are involved in conspiracies against the provincial government.
"Such people don’t believe in services for masses. My crime is that I live with courage and I am against financial discrepancies," he said.
The minister said that it doesn't matter if his ministry is taken away or his portfolio is changed. "I challenge anyone to give such performance in seven months’ time," he said. "The chief minister is all aware of the conspiracies and will take action at the due time."
