The Planning and Development minister responded by saying that this was a result of sustainable growth that the PTI manifesto talked about and was now seeing turning into reality.
This is the sustainable growth PTI manifesto talked about and now seeing turn into reality… Export driven, job intensive, investment backed. Not the destructive consumption driven foreign debt financed short term bubbles which led invariably to crippling external crises in past https://t.co/jbqSShUDuT
