CHAKWAL: Prime Minister Nawaz Shraif on Monday said the government’s plan D for the country is that of development in contrast to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s plan D of destruction.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif inaugurated the overlay and modernization of Islamabad-Lahore Motorway (M-2) at a ceremony in Chakwal on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, the prime minister said the development process will continue and hurdles being created by the protesting parties cannot stop this process.
“It is evident that no Pakistani likes the dharnas that are taking place, and no Pakistani will tolerate any hurdles in key development projects,” the premier said, while addressing the motorway renovation ceremony in Chakwal.
“It is the first time a road like this has been constructed in South Asia, and it is receiving praise not only from within Pakistan but also from abroad,” the prime minister said, referring to renovations at the Islamabad-Lahore Motorway.
He said the motorway had been constructed with Pakistan’s own funds without the government requesting for any foreign assistance.
“This project would have been completed a lot sooner had we not been ousted,” Nawaz said. Speaking about the value of the motorway, the premier said the estimated worth of the motorway was Rs2.25 billion.
Earlier, giving briefing about the project, the Director General, Frontier Works Organization (FWO) Maj. General Muhammad Afzal said the project will be completed with the partnership of FWO and National Highway Authority (NHA). He said it will be a major public private partnership project. He said FWO will look after the M-2 for twenty years.
Government working towards eliminating load-shedding, reducing electricity prices
Nawaz, during the ceremony, said the government had provided relief to the masses by cutting down fuel and power tariffs.
“The government aims to end the shortage of electricity, as well as reducing the price of electricity,” the premier said.
“All of this will be possible after the completion of the construction of the Basha and Dasu dams, as well as coal-based projects,” he said.
“We want to introduce new projects, and we want to preserve the old projects,” the premier said.
“The new projects that have been introduced would be completed had there not been the interruption in the form of dharnas,” he said.
He said the projects the government had introduced were ‘game-changers for Pakistan’.
Response to protests: Govt’s ‘Plan D’ is for development not destruction, says Nawaz – The Express Tribune
