Lahore: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairman and former President Asif Ali Zardari said that charter of economy was the need of the time, emphasizing over collective efforts for the sake of the country.
“Pakistanis are investing in the foreign countries due to insecurity,” said Asif Ali Zardari while talking to the industrialists in Lahore on Friday evening.
He said that he was ready for the charter of economy.
The PPP co-chairman said that he wanted cotton crops in Jhal Magsi area—the area which is located nearby Sindh, adding that the Egyptian cotton was the best. He claimed that 70 per cent exports of Bangladesh were of Indian made as the Bangaldeshi attached the local tags to the Indian-made products.
“Bangladesh gets benefit of being proxy of India,” said Zardari.
He vowed that they were making efforts to take the exports to the European markets, and for this purpose, they needed to work collectively. He pointed out that they needed to explore the trade opportunities instead of the loans.
Zardari went on to say that Pakistan is a golden basket and they had to make Pakistan rich while formula for this was “you”, adding that the country could not be a prosperous without the support of industrialists.
He added that Pakistan was not a poor country and all those who thought Pakistan was a poor country were “fool”.
He also added that Iran and Pakistan gas pipeline would be started soon after Saudi Arabia and Iran re-established their ties. He was of the view that there was apparently no reason behind the delay in the deal.
The PPP co-chairman stated that people made fun of him over his statement about 100 billion dollars reserves but made it clear that they would take the reserves to such level. The richness of few families, he said, would not bring any change or betterment.
