Entire country cannot be run on subsidies, says Fawad Chaudhary

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Information Minister Fawad Chaudhary has said that the entire country cannot be run on subsidies.

In his tweets on Sunday, he said that economic difficulties are temporary as industry, agriculture and construction sectors are making historic profits.

Fawad Chaudhary said that as a nation we will face difficulties together. He also urged the private sector to increase the salaries of their workers to help mitigate effects of inflation.

ایک قوم کی طرح مل کر مشکلات کا سامنا کریں گے، معاشی مشکلات عارضی ہیں انڈسٹری ، زراعت اور تعمیرات کے شعبے تاریخی منافع کما رہے ہیں تنخواہ دار طبقے کی مشکلات ہیں پرائیویٹ سیکٹر اپنے ورکرز کی تنخواہوں میں اضافہ کرے آمدنی اور روزگار میں اضافہ مہنگائ کا توڑ ہے۔

Regarding propaganda about oil prices, he said that we are not living on a planet isolated from the world. “If oil and gas prices go up in the rest of the world, prices in Pakistan will also rise.”
