Country had restarted its journey towards development; Asad Mehmood
Federal Minister for Communications Maulana Asad Mehmood here on Monday lauded the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif-led coalition government for inaugurating development initiatives for socio-economic uplift of the southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Addressing a ceremony which was arranged in which Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated a number of development projects, the federal minister said the country had restarted its journey towards development under the leadership of Shehbaz Sharif and these development initiatives launched in Dera Ismail Khan would usher in prosperity of the area.
He also appreciated the services of officials of communications and other relevant ministries for preparing these mega projects.
Speaking on this occasion, Advisor to the prime minister Amir Muqam said He said the travelling time from D I Khan to Islamabad and vice versa was reduced to 2-3 hours after completion of Hakla-Yarik Motorway.
Its credit goes to Muhammad Nawaz Sharif who envisioned the linkage of the whole country through Motorways.
He said Imran Khan always tried to mislead the people and made false promises with them like provision of 50 lac houses and 20 million jobs to them.
He said Imran Khan did nothing except the politics of blaming others.
He said the issue of terrorism was very serious one which restarted due to bad policies of the last government and the coalition government would resolve by bringing all stakeholders on one page as the PML-N government had done in the past after the APS incident in Peshawar.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) Parliamentary Leader in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Maulana Lutfur Rehman expressed gratitude to the prime minister on behalf of the people of Dera Ismail Khan, South Waziristan, Tank and Lakki Marwat and the party’ workers for initiating mega projects for the development of the area.
Appreciating the PDM leaders for contributing their services for putting the country on the path of development, he hoped that PDM under the leadership of Maulana Fazlur Rehman and the coalition government would soon steer the country out of the inherited economic crisis.
He expressed commitment that JUI-F would continue its efforts for serving the people and playing a role for addressing challenges while keeping in view injunctions of Islam.
Lutfur Rehman said the party had always stood against those who worked against the spirit of Islam and those who worked for instability in the country.
He also appreciates the government for working against the eliminating menace of usury from society.
