Giving NRO, reaching compromise is an easy way: PM Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that all dacoits are wailing after uniting.

Speaking to students at NUST in Islamabad on Friday, the prime minister said, “We have an easy way to give them NRO and complete the five-years tenure in Parliament comfortably. But difficult decisions are to be made which take the country up. The country is heading towards the right direction.”

The prime minister maintained that when someone commits any fraud than his capability of life has been lost. He also asked that why do people want to become nationals of other countries. “It’s because our foreign policy was so bad and Pakistan’s image was so bad, he said, adding that travelling with a green passport is terrible,” he mentioned.

“We have to create an environment for overseas Pakistanis to return and invest in Pakistan,” Imran Khan said, adding that these people crave Pakistan and love it a lot. He also said Pakistan’s biggest problem is its mindset. “Change starts in the mind and then goes to the ground.”

Promote local manufacturing

Addressing a ceremony, PM Khan said that the government is focused to promote local manufacturing and industrialization to enhance exports of the country. “This is the first facility in Pakistan that will produce cardiac stents,” he added.

The premier said real development of the country is not possible without enhancing exports, and the PTI government has set the direction right to focus on exports instead of imports.

Imran Khan said all the government departments have been directed to facilitate and create an enabling environment for investment. He said Overseas Pakistanis, who are the biggest asset of the country, are being encouraged and facilitated to invest in the country.

The prime minister said when PTI came to power, the country was facing forty billion dollars trade gap. He said current account deficit ultimately leads to high inflation mainly due to rupee depreciation.

PM urges youth to realize their potential

Giving assurance of full support to higher education, the Prime Minister said the government will promote knowledge economy. He urged the youth to have their visions and work hard to realize their potential.

Appreciating the initiative of manufacturing of cardiac stents in Pakistan, he said the step will significantly reduce expenditures on treatment of heart diseases besides saving foreign exchange.
