He said Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz respects mandate of all parties and we must now work together for the development and prosperity of the country. The Prime Minister said that recent visits of the foreign delegations are a welcome sign.
He said new agreements with neighboring and friendly countries and establishment of border markets will boost trade. Shehbaz Sharif said the visits of Saudi Arabian and Iranian delegations will increase foreign investment and strengthen economy of the country.
Speaking on the occasion, Sindh Chief Minister informed the Prime Minister about the financial problems of the province. He informed that the School Rehabilitation Project, Barrages Project, and Solid Waste Project are pending with the Federal Government for necessary approval.
The Prime Minister directed the Federal Finance Minister to resolve the financial issues.
On the request of Transport Minister Sharjeel Memon, the Prime Minister announced to give 150 buses in a pool of 300 buses.
He also directed to resolve the issue of K-4 water project and Karachi Circular Railway project.
He assured that everyone who voting PTI would join their rally. The rally would take place at Mazar-e-Quaid Ground on May 5th. On April 26th, protests will be held nationwide against rigging, followed by a spiritual foundation day celebration at Insaf House on Thursday. On May 5th, a rally will be held in Karachi. “We stand with the nation, and our struggle will continue until we reclaim our theft mandate,” vowed Mr Sheikh.
Addressing foreign policy, Mr Sheikh lamented that the country’s foreign policy had failed, following which the economy relied solely on charity. He said: “We welcome the visit of the Iranian president. Our relations with Saudi Arabia and Iran were excellent. World leaders consider our leader, Imran Khan, as the leader of the Muslim world.”
He also showed concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in Sindh, particularly in Karachi and said that the target killings had made citizens’ lives and properties unsafe. He said: “The Sindh government has deployed the entire police force behind us. On one hand, there is havoc wreaked by bandits while on the other, all police branches are behind PTI workers.”
