India made economic progress adopting our policies, says Nawaz Sharif

LAHORE (92 News) - PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif said that Pakistan had become the 24th economy in the world during his last tenure.

Addressing the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Thursday, he said that India had adopted the policies formulated by his government and made a significant economic progress.

He said that the dollar rate would have been at Rs40-50 if the policies formed by them had continued. "The policy rate during the PML-N tenure was Rs6.25, while today it is Rs22. Who can dare to start a business under these circumstances," he added.

Nawaz Sharif said that they understand the economic difficulties of the country. "We will get the people rid of inflation and poverty," he added.

He said that now the sequence of showing false dreams will have to be stopped. "We removed Pakistan from the grey list in 2013. We were not ready to assume the power in 2013, but is was necessary to save the country from default," he maintained.
