KARACHI: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz Friday said Prime Minister Imran Khan was fully focussed to reduce inflation, boost economy and create more job opportunities for the people.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, he said, had taken many initiatives and introduced programmes for the public welfare.
“PTI’s elected representatives should be in direct contact with the people to resolve their problems,” he said while talking to the party parliamentarians belonging to Sindh here at the Sindh Governor House.
Leader of the Opposition in the Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh and Member of Provincial Assembly Firdous Shamim Naqvi were also present on the occasion.
Shibli Faraz said the PTI was playing its role as a strong opposition in the Sindh Assembly.
He said the federal government had announced a package for the development of Karachi, which the country’s economic hub and had historical significance. However, the Sindh government’s role was not positive as it was creating hurdles in that regard.
Even during the Covid-19 pandemic and the wheat crisis, it played negative politics, he added.
Haleem Adil Sheikh said the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) rulers had destroyed the Sindh province through their corrupt practices.
The parliamentarians on the occasion apprised the minister of the problems and issues being faced by them.
Earlier, Punjab Senior and Food Minister Abdul Aleem Khan said that for the first time in 13 years, the business volume is at the highest level due to which the country’s economy is showing signs of improvement.
In a tweet, the senior minister said that crossing the 284 million dollars’ business volume limit at the national level is a very welcome omen and it is proving that the country’s economy is on the right track due to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision and timely policies.
Pakistan Stock Exchange is showing the highest results in the past 34 months. The business volume has crossed $284 million for the first time after 13 years. Pakistan is moving in the right economic direction and PMIK’s economic approach is helping Pakistan. Economy is advancing.
