Eulogising party workers, he said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz always stood by the voice of its workers and sacrifices of political workers had strengthened democracy.
The federal information minister said that the first priority of the government was to restore the economy and solve the problems of people. “In this regard the government is working day and night. Due to the timely and positive steps taken by the government on the instructions of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the value of the rupee has stabilised,” he added.
He was confident that inflation would decrease further in the coming days.
To a question, he said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, for the first time in the country’s history, had sent set documents to all ministries for achieving short and long-term goals such as reduction of inflation, solution to economic problems, and ending unemployment.
He said that strict instructions had also been issued to the ministries for timely achievement of the goals, adding that the prime minister would review the performance of all ministries related to these goals.
Tarar further said that the PTI government had created numerous economic crisis, due to which the PML-N in the previous allied government had focused on measures to restore the economy in the last 16 months.
