It was believed powerful people can escape accountability, however, this perception has been proven wrong, he added.<br \/>\nGilani reaffirmed his commitment to the development and prosperity of South Punjab, saying efforts in this regard would continue. He said the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had launched several development projects for South Punjab including Muzaffargarh during its tenure, citing the Tayyab Erdogan Hospital and the Head Muhammadwala Bridge, constructed with Turkish assistance.<br \/>\nGilani said the only sustainable solution to end sense of deprivation was the establishment of south Punjab as a separate province.
