No difficulty in removing protesters, containers: PM

Says one party is bringing the progress of this nation to a halt

ATTOCK:
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif highlighted on Wednesday the government’s patience over the Islamabad sit-ins but pointed out they would have no difficulty in removing both the containers and protesters, who are camped outside Parliament House since over a month.

Touching upon the current political situation in the country, the prime minister, who was at the inauguration ceremony of an oil well in Attock, said, “It is not hard to clear the containers and protesters, but we have shown patience in this regard.”

Nawaz went on to add that there is just one party which is bringing the progress of this nation to a halt.

He reiterated that he would not be handing in his resignation at the say of a few thousand people, while the rest of the nation and the parliament stand united for the progress of the country.

Upset over Chinese president postponing his visit to Pakistan, the PM said President Xi Jinping was supposed to visit our country but has now gone to India because of the situation in Islamabad.

Remorseful Nawaz, during his speech in Attock at the inauguration ceremony of an oil well, said the country knows why the visit was delayed despite complete preparations.


Gas discovery 

PM Nawaz praised efforts of the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) as gas was discovered in the area and ordered that all workers involved were to receive a two month bonus.

The PM went on to discuss the importance of discovering gas all over the country in order to reduce the amount of imports.

“I look forward to the day that we don’t need to import gas,” a hopeful Nawaz said.

The PM highlighted the importance of bringing an end to load shedding in Pakistan.

“To build more educational institutions, we need to end load shedding. To build more hospitals, we need to end load shedding. Our main aim is to bring an end to the load shedding and electricity problems of this nation," said Nawaz.

He concluded by saying that he will continue his efforts to take Pakistan to new heights and will do his best to ensure that the nation prospers in every way possible.
