Nobody will be allowed to sabotage country’s economic gains: PM Shehbaz

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has emphatically stated that nobody will be allowed to sabotage the economic gains achieved by the country over the last seven months due to strenuous efforts of the government.

Chairing the federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad today, he stated in categorical terms that the repeat of the 2014-15 conspiracy will not be allowed under any circumstances.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the economic indicators are improving and the whole world is acknowledging the fact. 

He said the IMF program has been secured with the support of friendly countries China, UAE and Saudi Arabia while inflation has come down to six point nine per cent from thirty-two per cent. He mentioned that exports and remittances are witnessing an increase and the stock market is skyrocketing. He said digitization of FBR is being carried out to broaden the tax base.

He regretted that this is not acceptable to a particular party which does not want Pakistan moving forward on the path of development and improvement in the living standards of the people.

Shehbaz Sharif mentioned that a Saudi delegation is visiting Pakistan and agreements and MOUs worth two billion dollars are expected during the visit. He said Pakistan is hosting SCO heads of government meeting and comprehensive arrangements have been made for it. He said the Chinese Premier is also coming to Pakistan on a bilateral visit.

Strongly regretting the Karachi incident which claimed the lives of two Chinese nationals, the Prime Minister said Pakistan shares the grief and sorrow of the Chinese people. He said no stone will be left unturned to ensure unbreachable security for the Chinese nationals in Pakistan.   

Earlier, the federal cabinet offered fateha for the security personnel martyred in recent acts of terrorism.
