HARIPUR:
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Wednesday said a country could only progress when there was political stability and reiterated that the PML-N government despite numerous challenges would complete its constitutional term and foil attempts of those who wish to sabotage the democratic process.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the 47-km long section of the Burhan-Shah Maqsood interchange of the six-lane Hazara Motorway, he said, “The people of Pakistan know perfectly well who has served them sincerely and they will again vote the PML-N to power in the next general election.”
He said political decisions were not taken at courts and through sit-ins and regretted that had there been no instability due to the sit-ins, the government could have done much more for the people.
The prime minister said the PML-N faced grave challenges and boldly confronted terrorism, economic meltdown and dirty politics of sit-ins.

He said, “Only political stability and continuity can ensure progress of country,” and added that those wishing to topple the government, would be sadly disappointed.
“I believe in politics of decency and without entering into a politics of verbal abuse and mudslinging, has done practical work to serve the masses,” Abbasi said.
He termed July 28 a difficult day for the government; the day when former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was disqualified, and said the PML-N handled it well and those getting ready their 'sherwanis' will not gain anything.
Prime Minister Abbasi said it would have been better, if the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had inaugurated this project, as it was his vision.
He termed the opening of the road a revolutionary moment for the people of Hazara and said it would bring real change in the lives of people in real terms.
Desire for peace must not be seen as weakness, says PM Abbasi
He said the former prime minister visualised this project and has to his credit the ground breaking and opening up of an under-developed area.
The prime minister said during the nine-year rule of former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf and five-year rule of Asif Zardari, not even a single significant project was completed in this area.
He said such projects need vision, commitment and sincerity of purpose.
He said the total length of motorways in the country would exceed 2,600 km in near future and link all areas of the country. He said both President Musharraf, President Asif Zardari and the KPK government need to tell what they really did for this area. The prime minister said the country today has overcome loadshedding of electricity by adding a massive 11,000MW to the national grid and natural gas and added today Pakistan was exporting urea, unlike the past when it had to import due to shortage of gas.
He was particularly appreciative of the Chinese company that came up with a quality project, that has been completed on time.
Meanwhile, addressing the 59th parent's day event here at the Cadet College Hassan Abdal, the prime minister said Pakistan was now on the path of progress with a vibrant democracy and a strong economy
He said higher standards in education would take the country further ahead on the path of prosperity, while lauding the contributions of the students of this college in nation building.
