ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the country has received an excellent package from Saudi Arabia and now it will not be burdened even after getting a loan from the International Monetary Fund. Addressing the nation on Wednesday, he said that they are holding talks with other friendly countries for such packages. “Pakistan is playing the role of a mediator to end the Saudi-Yemen conflict. The Muslim Ummah is in trouble due to the Yemen war. We are uniting the Muslim countries,” he announced. Imran Khan declared that he would neither spare the corrupt nor give the NRO to anyone. “Corruption is a cancer and we are treating it,” he said. The prime minister said that overseas Pakistanis are ready to invest in the country. “We have to construct five million houses. We will rectify all institutions. Presently the railway, PIA and other state departments are facing losses,” he argued. Imran Khan said that the government will announce a package to end poverty. “It is a matter of happiness that Saudi Arabia has reduced the visa fee on my request,” he said. He said that Musharraf had given the PML-N and the PPP an NRO. “Both parties want to get the NRO, but we will not give it to them,” he declared. He said that the previous government had devoured even the Workers Welfare Fund. “Now the circular debt has touched Rs 1,200 billion,” he said. The prime minister said that the parties criticizing the government should be shameful.
