Ruling Pakistani Tehreek-i-Insaf
(PTI) government on Sunday presented its progress report on the first
anniversary of its assuming office, reviewing achievements made by the
government.
In a ceremony in the Prime Minister Office here, the
government launched a book on the one-year progress with brief notes on
the performance of each ministry, the Xinhua news agency reported.
Representatives
from the government said that Prime Minister Imran Khan faced tough
challenges in economic and services sectors as most of the national
institutions were going in loss, but the prime minister accepted the
challenges and worked hard to drive the country out of crisis. "When
we assumed power last year, the national treasury was almost empty, and
we did not even have money to run daily affairs of the country. In that
critical time friendly countries came to our rescue and saved us from
falling defaulter," Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political
Affairs Naeem ul Haq said in the ceremony. He said that his
government is focusing on health, education and housing sector to
alleviate poverty, and 114 small and large scale plans will be
introduced in the second year of the government which will lead the poor
class to self-dependency.
"Pakistan was facing isolation at
foreign affairs department, but the PTI government devised plans to have
good relations with all countries in the world, and due to the efforts
of the foreign ministry we have established good relations across the
world, and we even tried to mend our relations with India," he added.
Addressing
the media, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and
Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan said that the government has made big
achievement in a short period through hard work and dedication.
"Economic
challenges in the first year was tougher than our expectations, but the
PTI government has set a pace for development and each coming year will
better than the previous year for the government," she said.
Representatives
from all ministries will be ready to undergo an accountability process
in next week, and media and independent organisations will be given a
free hand to ask the relevant people about the progress they made during
the last one year, the prime minister's assistant on media said.
The
PTI won general elections in July last year and formed government in
collation with small political parties. Since assuming power, the
government preached the notion of austerity and self-reliance to help
the country's stand on its feet.
Releasing report of government's
performance is not a common practice in Pakistan, but as the PTI
government came to power on the slogan of change and people have high
expectations from it, so the party keeps on updating public on its
progress.
