Federal Minister for Petroleum Musadik Malik on Thursday claimed that those who were comparing the situation of Pakistan with Bangladesh are actually enemy of the country.
He expressed these views while addressing a press conference. He said that country’s circumstances are entirely different as compared to Bangladesh and anarchist elements will not be successful in their nefarious designs.
“The enemy forces are comparing our prime minister with Hasina Wajid,” said Musadik Malik.
He said that Pakistan belongs to all of us and it is our mission to serve the poor segments of the country. The government is making concrete efforts for the provision of relief to the people.
According to Musadik Malik, special measures are being taken to bring down the electricity prices. The minister said five committees have been constituted to chalk-out a plan to provide respite to electricity consumers.
Similarly, six hundred billion rupees have been earmarked to help the needy and deserving people under the Benazir Income Support Program.
Criticizing the opposition, he recalled that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif invited them to form a government after the last general elections, but they rejected the offer because their agenda was not to serve the masses but creating anarchy in the country.
He said, “We are following the vision of ‘One Pakistan,’ working towards the uplift of the poor people and creating opportunities for the youth and women of the country.”
He criticized the Opposition for focusing on negativity, destruction and divisive politics. He lamented that the Opposition has not offered any constructive suggestions for the progress, prosperity or development of the country.
He said that the people of Pakistan have elected their representatives to highlight their issues and resolve problems. The minister highlighted the positive impact of the government’s economic policies under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, noting a significant drop in food inflation from 48 percent to 2 percent.
