Islamabad:
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Monday that the country was going forward on the path of progress due to the vision of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the incessant efforts of the cabinet and institutions.
Speaking at a press conference on the eve of the first anniversary of the government’s reign led by the PML-N, Tarar said that the government had sacrificed its policy in relation to the national interest.
Shehbaz was sworn in as Prime Minister on March 4, 2024, following the general elections of February 8. At that time, Tarar said, the challenges that the nation seemed insurmountable, but the government’s efforts gave a remarkable reversal.
He was unleashed with the opposition PTI for having made the “chaos and anarchy policy, while trying to push the country to an economic quagmire. He said that the PTI had even written to the IMF to disrupt the rescue program of Pakistan.
On the other hand, said Minister of Information, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif led the country of economic crises, restored the image of Pakistan internationally and brought prosperity and development in the country in the year following his government.
“What seemed an insurmountable challenge only 12 months ago, [the government’s effort] has given in to a remarkable turnaround. We have not just stabilized the economy, but also traced the way for economic growth, “said the minister.
“The PML-N has made difficult decisions and has sacrificed its policy on the national interest. The PM Shehbaz Sharif is a reformist leader who knows the art of governance,” he said, adding that the Prime Minister would bear the overall performance of each ministry on Tuesday (today).
Tarar, on this occasion, mentioned the key indicators who showed that the economy was heading in the right direction. “It is no less than a miracle that inflation fell to 1.5%, which was until last year at 23.1%,” he noted.
