\nPrime Minister Nawaz Sharif said on Wednesday that Pakistan will become an Asian Tiger within the next few years, adding that the country would be a strong regional power in future.
\nHe made the remarks after reviewing the progress on Lahore-Abdul Hakeem M-3 motorway project in Nankana Sahib on Wednesday.
\nThe PM said that the public has stopped looking up to opposition parties, instead, they have their sights set upon those who are working for Pakistan\u2019s development.
\nThe opposition should praise at least something, he said, adding that the political rivals need to witness the evolution the country is going through.
\nHe said Pakistan will emerge as a strong economic power of the region in the next few years.
\nNawaz Sharif said that mega infrastructure projects including motorways, expressways and highways are being executed in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Gilgit-Baltistan which will make Pakistan the Asian Tiger.
\nThe Prime Minister said the mega connectivity projects will also connect Pakistan with China and the central Asian countries. Speed and quality are being ensured in the projects.
\nHe pointed out that central Asian states are landlocked countries and the connectivity projects will help these countries to access Gwadar port. This will benefit the economies of Pakistan and the Central Asian states.
\nThe previous governments created an electricity shortfall, said the PM.
\n\u201cWe are bringing electricity again and that also with affordable rates,\u201d said Nawaz.
\nThe Prime Minister invited the opposition parties to visit the development projects initiated by the present government which are not less than a revolution. A genuine change is taking place in the country. He said besides road infrastructure project, the government has launched several power projects which will add cheap electricity to the national grid.
\nNawaz Sharif said the opposition should do politics but not create hurdles in the execution of these projects. He said we will continue our journey towards development in order to ensure brighter future for the youth of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
