Rana Ihsaan Afzal Khan (Special Assistant to Prime Minister): The incumbent government is committed to development and welfare of the country. The government has given numerous incentives to people in the current budget. The government has launched new schemes for the facilitation of overseas Pakistanis as an acknowledgement of their services to the nation. The government, despite challenging economic times, has tried to provide maximum relief to the common people. The government had to take tough decisions to improve economy, even risking its political capital. These steps were vital to stabilize the economy and the government was supported in these measures by the PDM coalition partners. The government has made the ML-1 project under CPEC vibrant and now accelerated work is being done on it. Similarly, the Gwadar International project is being completed at a fast pace.
Dr. Mumtaz Anwar (Socio-Political Analyst): This is a very good step of the incumbent government to take priority in developing less privileged areas of the country and to bring them at par with developed ones. Lately, Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has introduced associate degrees that aim to provide education as well as skills. The skilled youth is a precious asset of the country. They can also become entrepreneurs to start their own businesses and employ other people. A vibrant economy trains young people and gives them free field to test new ideas. The private sector is also playing a crucial role in providing education to children at primary and secondary levels.
