Minister Memon further detailed the extensive investments made in infrastructure to support the Thar coal industry, asserting that Thar’s coal reserves could meet national energy needs and support exports for up to 200 years. He praised the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) for its visionary leadership and contributions to the country, including the 18th Amendment and advancements in various sectors.
SharjeelMemon also defended the legacy of the Bhutto family and the PPP’s unwavering commitment to Pakistan, emphasizing their sacrifices and contributions to the nation. He noted Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s efforts to promote unity.
