ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Politics of people's service and progress has started after an end to the politics of opportunism. These views were expressed by federal ministers during a press conference on Thursday. Federal Minister for Information Shibli Faraz admitted that there was inflation in the country, but its reasons are different. "The PM wants to tell the masses what the government is doing. In 2018, a new era of politics started for a special objective of Imran Khan," he added. He said that the government could not overcome several challenges. "Hoarding and price-hike are all responsibilities of the government. It is PM's foremost priority to reduce the prices of daily-use items," he maintained. Adviser to Prime Minister on Commerce Abdur Razzaq Dawood said that the government's objective is to support 'made in Pakistan'. "Imports have decreased and exports increased due to the steps taken by the government," he added. He said that the current account deficit had been reduced to US$20 million to US$3 million. "The country's exports have increased by 14 percent," he added. Adviser to Prime Minister on Institutional Reforms Dr Ishrat Hussain said that it would take time to remove the wrongdoings of 25 years. "We have to get support of Information Technology for our business which will reduce corruption as well," he added. He said that the government will have to start the e-filing system.
