ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday called upon the nation and all political parties to work together to bring the country out of crisis and take it to new heights of development, the official news agency reported.
He said the dream of a prosperous and developed Pakistan could only be fulfilled by rising above mutual differences, burying conspiracies, and maintaining rule of law in the country.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of Margalla Avenue, the prime minister said the country possessed huge natural resources as it had the best minds and manpower as well. “The only thing that lacks is the will to do,” he said, adding that although it is a difficult task it is not impossible to bring the country out of crisis.
He said all the initiatives were being taken for the development and prosperity of people of Islamabad and its attached areas.
However, he said due to the past government’s criminal negligence, the citizens of the federal capital had to wait for years to enjoy their due facilities.
He said last year was devastating both in terms of natural calamities and on the political front as the country faced devastating floods and the political opponents hatched conspiracies against the country. “Their agenda surfaced on May 9, 2023 when everyone saw that what they did was never even thought by the enemy of Pakistan,” he added.
He said despite the challenges, the CDA chairman, former MNA Hanif Abbasi and their team worked diligently to complete this project for which the people of Islamabad were waiting for years.
He said recently he visited Baku, where he saw smooth and clean roads and beautiful landscape and gardening along the roads. He advised Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah to take his team to Baku to get their first-hand experience and apply it in Pakistan as well.
