Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the country’s economy during an event in Narowal on Sunday.

Speaking at the event, Iqbal highlighted the country’s progress, stating, “We have experienced peace following the end of terrorism. We demonstrated to the world how to eliminate terrorism in just four years.”

Iqbal also pointed to the significant strides made in the energy sector, saying, “We ended power outages by launching projects that generated 11,000 megawatts of electricity.”

He emphasized the development work carried out by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), noting, “Whenever PML-N came to power, development projects began in every corner of the country.”

Reflecting on past challenges, Iqbal added, “People used to call our promises dreams, like Sheikh Chilli’s, as ending loadshedding so quickly was no easy task.”

He also recalled the difficult business environment at the time, explaining, “No one was willing to invest in the country, but our leader Nawaz Sharif made a promise to eliminate power shortages.”
