Leader PML-N Qaisar Ahmed Sheikh Tuesday stressed that it is the need of the hour that opposition parties must cooperate with the government to bring the country out of difficult times. The government is determined to provide relief to the masses in terms of gas and electricity, he said while talking to Radio Pakistan’s current Affair Program.
Moreover, the government is also keen to strengthen its bilateral relations with all the neighboring countries, he added. After his election as a Prime Minister, Mian Shehbaz Sharif in his first address highlighted some major challenges that the country is facing, he mentioned. The major challenges include balance of payment issues, trade deficit, energy shortfall and many others, he highlighted.
