\nAhsan Iqbal said that the former prime minister built only the \u2018highway of hatred\u2019. \u201cInvestors fled Pakistan because of this person,\u201d Ahsan Iqbal said. \u201cIf the PML-N leadership had not taken care of Pakistan, we would have defaulted,\u201d the minister said.
\nThe Planning Minister said that the Chairman PTI failed to give a single development project within his four years. \u201cHis inexperience destroyed the economy, the PML-N not holding reins of the country, the country had defaulted soon,\u201d he said.
\nTalking about the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, he stressed that the project was supposed to life the people by attracting the foreign direct investment while claiming the PTI government ruined the pace of project due to which the FDI remained standstill.
\nAhsan Iqbal highlighted that \u2018incompetent people\u2019 were given the reins of power, and they, in turn, wreaked havoc to the economy adding a dishonest person was given the certificate of honest which resulted in diminishing FDI in the county.
\nHe said the PML-N government added 11,000 megawatts in the country electrical system that decreased loadshedding besides providing opportunities to investors.
\nOn the other hand, the PML-N has decided to take PPP on board about budget concerns and in this regard the government led team will hold a meeting with the PPP at Prime Minister Secretariat.

\nEarlier, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in a public meeting in Swat said that his party\u2019s approval of the budget for the fiscal year 2023-24 depended on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s decision to allocate funds for flood victims that were promised last year.
\nThe PPP chairman expressed concern over absence of allocated funds for flood victims in the budget. He urged the prime minister to fulfil his promise regarding flood aid.
