Economy back on track: Musharraf

Published December 21, 2002

QUETTA, Dec 20: President Gen Pervez Musharraf has said he and his colleagues had run the government affairs with honesty of purpose during the last three years and had set the country’s economy back on the track.

Talking to the members of the provincial cabinet here on Friday, he said that now the people can avail the benefits of the economic development carried out during the past three years.

He said the elected governments at the center and in the provinces had been set up and it is now their responsibility to guide the country to the road to progress.

He urged the provincial ministers to serve the province with dedication and bring it at par with the other parts of the country and not as it had been, in the past, kept deprived of the fruits of development and progress.

He hoped that the mega projects initiated by his government would be completed on schedule and the people would reap the benefits of these development activities.

The president said: “We should work together for the prosperity and progress of the country instead of wasting our energies on trivial differences”.

The cabinet members earlier apprised the president of the problems facing the province.

Governor Amirul Mulk Mengal, Chief Minister Mir Jam Yousuf, and others senior official were present.—APP
