The guy is actually a Robot. He's dying off cancer but instead of spending his time with his family in his mansions, he's out there in these places for the people.
I am a total outsider and even I know the great work he's been doing. The gov't of Punjab has a LOT more credibility in front of the world (world bank, American and British businesses and educational institutes, etc) than the entire gov't of Pakistan. That doesn't come just by being a local city hero. That comes when you implement real projects for the welfare of a common man and ensure that there is almost 0 to minimal bribe.
In my books, knowing the Indo-Pak region, this guy's one of the doers, not talkers. One of the construction companies CEO that I am close to, tells me that this guy randomly gets to certain projects at 4 AM in the morning. Resulting in everyone scrambling to meet and greet him at 4 AM. He hates the fact that this guy's everywhere but he admires it later that this guy's got so many sides to him. Other CM's and ministers in Pakistan have a staff. This guy's the only one who's not only the CM, but he has other ministries under him. That way, he ensures no bureaucracy stops work and money gets to the right place. He doesn't have to do it but he's taking more on himself so that he can actually show progress.
I don't understand Pakistani politics. But I do understand the culture, etc. It is really sad to see people here discrediting hard work and national assets that weren't built over seven decades. People should be proud of these assets. Ask someone poor who sits in the metro bus every day and appreciates the painless ride to work and back. It's easy to spread hate on the internet, it is hard to even come close to appreciating good things about a person you may not like. Until you become true to your nation and country, you'll never rise as a nation. You guys are very divided.
Ask any American about 911 and post that. They may be from a different party but they'll show you the same strong feelings that go beyond personal bias and party lines. They represent the United States of America. Similarly, when you guys talk, just like Indians do, you should be putting your differences aside and show the world you appreciate the hard work. But you may not vote for this guy as that's your right. If an outsider reader reads these posts and sees pictures....his view of Pakistan will be pretty screwed up as he or she'll feel the CNN shows the right stuff. You guys are crazy, intolerant and don't even work as a nation. I think you guys should change those perceptions by showing unity and nationalism a little bit. There is plenty of good work being done. Someone else you like, can potentially do more but why discredit someone who's already done some work???
This guy works for 18 hours a day, from 6-12 mid night he works throughout the day. The matter of the fact this guy don't even care about protocol, most of the times he moves without even protocol. I remember when He become CM of Punjab, he was revolving in rural Punjab on the Bike to check whether doctors are coming in the hospital or not (No media shown this news, I heard this story from my cousin, who works in hospital in rural area, and in the night CM of Punjab did come on the Bike. Fortunately it wasn't my Cousin's duty timing so he got saved. Only after this CM started to think about DRs and today Punjab doctors get highest among all provinces. There are so many stories about him.
SS really deserve respect, and admire. True Leader of Punjab!
