ISLAMABAD: The government is making all-out efforts to reduce inflation, a senior government official said.

Talking to a private news channel, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Youth Affairs Usman Dar said that inflation has become a global challenge due to the Covid-19 because it has fluctuated big economic powers of the world.

Edible items and other things are still available at cheap prices in the country, compared with other countries, he said, adding that the government is working to provide relief to the common man at the maximum level.

The SAPM said the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) was habitual to use illegal tactics during the elections and they were using audio and videos for winning the bye elections in the constituency of NA 133 Lahore.

Dar said that the people of the country are well-aware of the corruption of previous governments of PML-N and Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), as both political parties had looted the national wealth mercilessly during their tenures.

The opposition was not ready to support the government over the matter of electronic voting machine, as they knew that modern technology would stop all the doors of rigging during the elections so that was why they were fearing from Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), he said.

The present government is utilising all-out efforts to make the country developed and prosperous and the people had full confidence in the honest and courageous leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The prime minister was only a political figure in the country who had full capabilities to uplift the country.
