RAWALPINDI
Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is making all-out efforts to strengthen the national economy.
Talking to newsmen on Sunday, the interior minister said that the government is trying to address inflation through wise decisions.
The minister said that approval of the Finance (Supplementary) Bill 2021 is a great success of the government and its allied parties. He expressed the resolve that the government will complete its five-year constitutional tenure and will continue its agenda of serving the people.
He said the public will witness positive developments in the next two to three months. He added the government will present a people-friendly budget in the next fiscal year.
He said past rulers plundered the national exchequer, while Imran Khan is committed to not only strengthening the economy but also reining in inflation. If the opposition tables a no-confidence motion against the PM Khan, it will face the same destiny as they experienced in the passing of the finance bill, Rashid said and mentioned that the 12 members of opposition were absent from the National Assembly during last session. This figure will be 26 if they forward any no-confidence motion, he predicted.
Talking about protest marches announced by the opposition, the interior minister said the government is not afraid of such marches. He said that failure is the destiny of the PML-N policies and predicted all four Sharif’s are minus from the national politics.
The minister said that this year on March 23, the Chinese J-10C would participate in the flying pass, and more people would attend the Pakistan Day parade than the opposition party’s long marches.
Commenting on the Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif’s remarks, Rashid said that Imran Khan is not a scary dream but a sweet dream for him. He said he has never seen a politician like Nawaz Sharif who left the country for personal interests.
Answering a query, he denounced the impression of any deal with Nawaz Sharif and said that there was no division in the treasury benches upon the leadership of PM Imran Khan.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the slow pace of work at Mother &Child Hospital, he said some mafias do not favour the project. However, he will himself visit the health ministry and ask the departments concerned to complete the project within time.
