PM terms political stability vital for economic prosperity

Islamabad: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday termed political stability a vital condition for economic prosperity and ridding the people of price hike.

“It is required for the sake of loyalty to Pakistan and allegiance, that there must be economic stability,” he said.

In a press statement shared by Prime Minister Office Media Wing, the prime minister said it was the desire of someone that Pakistan might pushed into default, but neither would it happen, nor they would let it happen.

“The people who had laid land mines in the economic foundations of the country, are out to do the same in the political foundations of the country,” the premier in a veiled reference to the political opponents of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said.

The people who had hurt public confidence, were now out to dissolve assemblies, he said, adding their objective was to create political instability.

“Political stability and economic charter can only strengthen Pakistan’s national solidarity,” he opined.

“The political miscreants by spreading anarchy wanted to force the world not to invest in Pakistan, besides hampering the efforts for rehabilitation of the flood-affected people,” he added.

He called upon the nation to ponder whenever the country was taken on the path of economic prosperity, why the wrongdoing junta suddenly swung into action!

“There is no doubt that economic havoc was brought under an agenda and the political instability is a continuity of that action,” he opined.

The prime minister advised the political opponents to take pity on the condition of the people of Pakistan. To bring the public out of the curse of poverty and unemployment were the real politics, he observed.
