‘Power-hungry politicians using youth for partisan agenda’: PM

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Friday regretted that some ‘power-hungry politicians’ were making the country’s youth prey for their partisan agenda. 

On his official Twitter handle, the premier wrote: “Nations derive their strength from the youth who power their journey and animate their future”.

He said this, however, required investment in the development of youth. 

Shehbaz Sharif then pointed out, "Some power-hungry politicians have had no qualms about making them prey for their partisan agenda,” terming it as “unfortunate”. 

On the contrary, he said the government while “building on the pro-youth work in Punjab, also launched various initiatives yesterday that aim to empower and facilitate the youth to become entrepreneurs”.

“This is merely a beginning,” he said, adding that a lot more will be rolled out in the weeks and months to come.

Building on the pro-youth work we did in Punjab, the government launched various initiatives yesterday that aim to empower & facilitate our youth to become entrepreneurs. This is merely a beginning. A lot more will be rolled out in the weeks and months to come. https://t.co/VF6u5Cu1y6
