ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Aug, 2018 ) :Prime Minister Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi Saturday categorically said that he stood by Sardar Usman Buzdar, the nominee of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf for the Chief Minister of Punjab as he found him to be an honest man.

"I want to make it clear I stand by our nominee Usman Buzdar for CM Punjab," Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is also chairman of the party, said in a tweet.

He sais he had done his due diligence over past two weeks and had found him to be an honest man. "He (Buzdar) has integrity and stands by my vision & ideology of Naya Pakistan.

" He said Usman Buzdar came from one of the most backward areas of Punjab - the tribal area of Dera Ghazi Khan division. His area had no electricity, water or a doctor for over 200,000 people.
