The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has chalked out a plan to provide 3 million new jobs, efficient governance through use of IT technology and to expedite the process of industrialization in the country by using 50 percent of remittances.
This was stated by PML-N Lahore president and candidate for NA 123 Pervaiz Malik while addressing a gathering on the occasion of inauguration of his election office in his constituency on Thursday.
Malik said that actions speak louder than words therefore the PML-N performance was enough to prove its loyalty to the country and its people. He said that former chief minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif left no stone unturned to ensure all facilities to the people. He said that it were not the hospitals alone where people were provided with free medical facilities but the students were given laptops, solar panels and infrastructure in the province was brought at par with developed world.
Malik said that if his party was voted to power, it would not only put the economy back on track and resurrect Pakistan as a progressive and sovereign nation. He said PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif has devised a mechanism to curtail the woes of people and sustainable progress at economic front.
“The PML-N seeks revival of economy in the next five-year through pro-investment and pro-business policies where the growth rate will be doubled to about 6 percent; fiscal deficit will be almost halved to 4 percent of the GDP; tax-to-GDP ratio would be increased to 15 percent, whereas investment to GDP ratio will be pushed up to 20 percent, respectively.”
He said further one of the most crucial challenges faced by Pakistan was energy crisis, which was not only affecting economic growth, but adding to the miseries of people. “PML-N promises to take care of energy crisis by generating extra 10,000MW of electricity, half of it from coal, mobilization of $20 billion investment in power sector and progressively reducing transmission and distribution losses to 10 percent,” he added.
He said clean water, health and education were the right of people and he would utilise all resources to provide these necessities of life to the residents of NA-123.
“I will expedite work on the road network, sewerage and water supply system will be expedited. People should not stumble by the deceiving hollow slogans vote PML-N to power keeping in view commendable services for the cause of country and nation,” he said.
With current economic situation and the policies we've been following over the years, that seems impossible. What Pakistan's economy needs is a quick turn around and not promises.
