RAWALPINDI: Punjab Minister for Literacy and Non-Formal Basic Education Raja Rashid Hafeez said PDM is not a threat to the government but will bring disgrace to its component political parties who have gathered for personal interests.

“Our government is focusing public welfare despite negative opposition from rival parties,” he said.

Talking to party workers and people belonging to different walks of life at his office on Thursday, Mr Hafeez said the government would show solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiri people on Feb 5.

He said the day would come soon when Kashmiri people would have their right to self-determination and freedom from the occupation of India.

He said for the first time in Punjab, the PTI government has taken practical steps to make investment very clean and transparent. As a result, a large number of investors are now willing to invest in various sectors.

“These steps of the government would boost industrial and commercial activities in the province and improve the country’s economy besides creating employment opportunities for the youth.”

In the past, commission mafia forced investors to flee but the PTI government is giving them all facilities under one roof and they will not face any problem or obstacle anywhere inside the government machinery, he said.

The minister said the government had reinforced and strengthened the foundation of national reconstruction and in the coming months and years the country will be on the path of rapid development.

He said the use of modern technology has increased in every field including industry and trade, agriculture and medical, so our youth must learn technical skills.

He said the government was expanding and upgrading vocational training facilities across the province and these facilities will be further updated in the near future so that our youth can learn the skills of modern technical requirements.
