Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) patron-in-chief Jahangir Tareen has said that the country will develop under the leadership of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif as “thousands of jobs” will be created if the three-time former prime minister is voted into power following February 8 polls.
Speaking at a political gathering in Multan, from where he is contesting on the NA-155 seat, Tareen said that he will work with the PML-N supremo to address the country’s economic woes.
“The country will develop [and prosper] under Nawaz’s leadership [and] hundreds of thousands of jobs will be created,” he said, adding, “I will work with Nawaz Sharif as he will be our leader once the government is formed [after the polls].”
Elaborating on his political agenda if voted into power, Tareen reaffirmed that his party would work on improving economic indicators to address unemployment as well as increase the salaries of those who are already employed.
“Whether it be ‘eagle’ or ‘lion,’ we have to work together for the betterment of the country’s economy,” the IPP patron-in-chief said referring to the electoral symbols of IPP and PML-N, respectively.
He added that everyone would benefit from a stable economy. Tareen’s remarks reflected the election manifesto of other major political parties in the election race such as the PML-N and the PPP, both of whom have been actively propagating their “economic agenda” to woo the masses who have been facing the brunt of sky-high inflation.
