FAISALABAD. Maiden address of newly elected Prime Minister Imran Khan depicts his political and economic maturity and farsightedness as he has covered almost all sectors of our political, economic and social life with a clear vision to make Pakistan a strong, prosperous and economically stable country.
Commenting on first speech of Imran Khan, Shabbir Hussain Chawla President Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI) said that he has proved himself a true, patriotic and visionary statesman.
His address is a comprehensive roadmap to put Pakistan on road to progress and prosperity by eliminating corruption and mis-governance in addition to attracting maximum Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) particularly from the expatriate Pakistanis. He said that Imran Khan is justified in tagging heavy foreign loans as a major curse and impediment in the growth of national economy. He was appreciative of PM’s firm resolve to observe austerity by shifting from spacious Prime Minister’s House to a two bed residence.
Similarly the governors belonging to Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf (PTI) would not use splendid and luxurious governor houses sprawling on thousands kenals of land.
The decision to auction the bullet proof vehicles is yet another bold step that indicates that PTI intends to curtail the unnecessary expenditures on the lavish living of political figure. Certainly Imran Khan will set an example for his political as well as bureaucratic elite in addition to giving a clear message to the government officials to adopt simplicity who were earlier enjoying unlimited privileges and perks form the hard earned tax money poor people of Pakistan.
Regarding Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), he said that expansion of tax base is imperative to generate much needed fund for the development of deprived and underdeveloped areas of the country. He said that the economic agenda of Imran Khan is a ray of hope for the people who are experiencing heavy load of taxation for the last 70 years.
He termed the economic vision of Imran Khan as an achievable agenda provided the people accepted it by giving a positive response.
He was optimistic that if Imran Khan succeeded in implementing his economic agenda Pakistan will emerge as a strong and stable economy in the international community within few years.
Mr. Chawla fully endorsed the economic agenda of Imran Khan and assured full cooperation on behalf of the business community of Faisalabad to achieve its objective as soon as possible.
