PESHAWAR: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday promised infrastructure and developmental projects in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Addressing a workers' convention in Peshawar, he said: "You want to see a new Pakistan, we want to see a new Khyber Pakhtunkhwa."
He said the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-led (PTI) government in KP had been given every opportunity to remedy the problems faced by the province, but it had failed.
He said the federal government has also planned the construction of new universities in KP.
Operation has broken terrorists' backbone, says PM
Addressing PML-N parliamentarians, Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said Operation Zarb-i-Azb had broken the backbone of terrorists and that targeted operations in Karachi were also yielding positive results.
Nawaz announced that the Afghan government is cooperating with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and went on to say that the government will redirect its attention to other matters once terrorism has been eliminated.
The prime minister said the national economy is being revived and international organisations including Moody's, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Bloomberg have appreciated the economic achievements of the government.
Nawaz assured commitment to resolving the power crisis and said the government is set to achieve its targets in this regard. "We will ensure every house has electricity," the premier promised.
He was optimistic that the government’s endeavours would enable the creation of more jobs.
He also advised the president of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter of PML-N to appoint upright candidates to contest the KP local government elections.
