Shibli Faraz, Usman Dar address joint press conference today

Minister for Information Shibli Faraz has on Tuesday expressed satisfaction that the prices of essential commodities in the country are coming down.

Shibli Faraz was addressing joint press conference with Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Youth Affairs Usman Dar in Islamabad.

Speaking on the occasion, the information minister said that despite Covid-19, the government has managed to stabilize the economy and bring down inflation.

He said our aim is to generate economic activity to create job opportunities for the people.  We are constructing two new dams and two new cities.

The Information Minister said the government is trying to address the internal and external challenges faced by the country but regretted that the opposition is bent upon damaging the country’s interests by holding rallies.

He said this is a democratic and elected government and the opposition parties will have to wait for the next three to eight years.

The Information Minister said the aim of opposition parties which were rejected by the people in the 2018 elections is not to serve the country but to protect their vested interests.

Shibli Faraz also made it clear that no NRO will be given to the corrupt leaders.
