Addressing the gathered crowd, Khan assured the people of Shahdara that, if given the chance, he would not disappoint them. He pledged to bring development to Shahdara, aiming to bring it on par with the rest of Lahore. Emphasizing Shahdara as the entrance to Lahore, Khan vowed to beautify the area.
