RAWALPINDI, Dec 02 (APP):Parliamentary Secretary for Information and Broadcasting, Danyal Chaudhry on Tuesday said the country has left the crutches behind and is now walking steadily towards economic recovery.
Addressing at the Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI), Danyal lauded the business community as the “backbone and heart” of the government policies.
“When we took over (the government), Pakistan was bleeding,” he said adding that every businessman would ask me the same question of the country’s bank corruption.
Danyal shed light on the tireless efforts of the government for economic revival, and said that after just one-and-a-half years, growth may be slow, but we are clearly moving forward.
“A broken leg needs plaster first, then crutches, then slow walking, and finally running, we have put the crutches aside. With the PM’s vision and a strong team, we will soon be running”, he said.
The parliamentarian highlighted that some tough policies were forced by the previous government’s IMF commitments. He said the government, with its competent team of ministers, co-synced those hard policies which were adopted by the previous incompetent government. However, Danyal assured the business community that good days are ahead.
“As we pick up speed, tax pressures will ease and doing business will become much more feasible,” said Danyal Ch.
He also highlighted the revival of Pakistan Railways under Minister Hanif Abbasi, saying the institute has been revived fully.
While appreciating the cooperation of the business community, he called the Rawalpindi Chamber the real strength of the region’s business community.
“The country cannot run without you, we will leave Pakistan standing tall on its own feet and running fast,” he said.
Danyal Ch also appreciated the RCCI president Usman Shaukat, Group Leader Sohail Altaf and other members for organizing the event where both sides shared views on the betterment of economic policies. He also extended his full cooperation to the chamber to address the issues traders are facing.
