ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif says he never gets frightened and expressed determination face any challenge with courage.
In his address at a ceremony in Islamabad, the prime minister said bringing down load-shedding volume was not a piece of cake, and hastened to add his government did it efficiently.
“I don’t want to do politics based on eyewashes.”
He questioned what the government that bagged victory in 2008 elections did for the country.
The PM also took exception to PTI’s sloganeering of ‘Naya Pakistan’ and said he could not yet see ‘new Pakistan’ promised by some people.
He said soon after taking reins of the country, his government planned a strategy to eliminate terrorism and address load-shedding menace and revive the overall power sector.
Mr. Sharif said none of the erstwhile rulers strived to root out terrorism from the country.
He underlined that peace in Karachi had been restored, “and we won’t let this momentum fade off. The efforts for long-lasting peace in the Sindh capital will continue.”
He said 6.2% exports increased in the country comparing to last year, which was significant.
