Premier Nawaz stated that his government will not allow anyone to become an obstacle to the country's development.
Energy crisis
Speaking about the prevalent energy crisis in the country, PM Nawaz said there was no immediate solution to the problem.
"People should not expect that the energy crisis will be resolved in 6 months or a year," he remarked.
The premier said that during the Pakistan Muslim League -Nawaz's (PML-N) term, every effort will be made to bridge the gap between demand and supply of electricity.
"The country’s treasury does not have enough resources to set up power projects on its own," the premier commented, adding that the government was taking China's help to do so.
PM Nawaz claimed that the future was bright in terms of solving the energy crisis, referring to the various power projects started by the PML-N government.
Acknowledging taxpayers
During his address, PM Nawaz said that under this new scheme - which acknowledges the contribution of the top 100 dutiful taxpayers - top 10 taxpayers in each tax-related category will receive excellence awards.
He stated that the top 100 taxpayers will receive privilege taxpayers cards which will give them access to VIP lounges at airports, fast track immigration clearance and gratis passport.
The premier said that in this way, those who are playing a role in the development of the country and are contributing to the economy will be acknowledged.
"It will also give a message to others to do their part as well," he added.
