ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the government is striving to introduce a uniform curriculum as the "promotion of human resource development is a big challenge at the moment".
He remarked during an interactive session with a delegation of students from Business Administration Department of Virginia University on Monday. They are currently on a visit to Pakistan to have first-hand information about the potential of business and tourism in the country.
Highlighting importance of human resource development, Premier Imran said that that challenge before him is not only the elimination of corruption but also improvement of education system on the whole.
While elucidating on Pakistan’s abundant resources, he lamented on the slow development process in the country that stands stagnant due to corruption and neglected human resource promotion by previous governments.
“Pakistan was the fastest developing country in South Asia in the decade of 1960s, but the political philosophies of the decades of 1970s and 1980s not only led to blocking of industrial development but also inclusion of money and corruption in the politics,” he said.
PM Imran vows unwavering fight against 'mafias'
The prime minister went on to say that he, by keeping in view the loot and plunder and corruption in the society and the plight of common man, stepped into politics and his party succeeded in defeating the country's two major political parties after "22 years of political struggle".
While owing to the PTI government's efforts, he said that the country's economy had stabilised and the economic indicators showed significant improvement.
“The country's economy would witness further improvement and growth due to the government's business-friendly policies and various development projects including the construction of 5 million houses.”
Censuring the imposition of curfew in Indian Occupied Kashmir, which had continued for over last 150 days, the premier said that New Delhi's's brutalities had exposed the Indian democratic claims.
“The Indian government's policies based on the philosophy of RSS [Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh] posed serious threats to regional peace,” he asserted.
The premier reiterated that oppressive policies of the Indian government had endangered the identity of Indians themselves. "The Modi government's policies had endangered the identity and existence of 500 million minorities living in India."
He wished a pleasant stay to the visiting students and hoped that their objective of having first-hand knowledge about the country would be fulfilled.
