UPPER DIR (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday lashed out at his opponents and said that PML-N is the one making new Pakistan as the one promised by the opposition is nowhere to be seen.

The prime minister inaugurated the Lowari Tunnel in Upper Dir which has been completed at a cost of about Rs27 billion. He was informed that under the project, two tunnels having a length of 10.5 kilometers have been completed. Besides this, 35km long approach roads have also been constructed from both sides along with twelve bridges. The tunnel has reduced travelling time between Peshawar and Chitral from fourteen to seven hours.

While talking to the inauguration ceremony, the premier said that they gave a chance to the opposition to build a new Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but they failed in doing so.

“We are the ones making new Pakistan and new Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he said.

“We will elevate Chitral to the status of Lahore , Karachi and Islamabad. We are the ones eleiminating darkness from the country, building Chitral tunnel, universities and not the provincial government,” he asserted.



PM Nawaz said that whatever is happening in the country is not accountability but exploitation. “Nawaz Sharif has no knowledge what is he being held accountable of. Those who are demanding accountability from me should themselves come out clean first,” he asserted.

“I can guarantee that no one will accept such accountability in Pakistan. I want to tell this to JIT, PTI,” he said.

Prime Minister insisted that those begging for resignation every morning should be ashamed. “They are not asking but begging for the resignation. I will never bear such obscene allegations. I have not learnt to bow down before such corrupt forces,” he said.

He called on his opponents to tell him about the projects affected by corruption. “Tell me in which project did Nawaz Sgarif committed corruption and confiscated commission,” he asked.

The premier criticized that the leadership of PTI and Pakistan Awami Tehreek created hurdles in the process of development by staging sit-ins and people rejected them in elections.

He hoped that such elements will also be defeated in the next elections. PM Nawaz notified that Shahra-e-Dastoor (Constitution Avenue) was under siege by the opposition for four months as the coffins of law and constitution were taken out.

The Prime Minister said he has not been involved in any sort of corruption. Rather, he has saved Rs168 billion in various development projects.

He told that his government has launched development projects all over the country to improve the socio-economic condition of the people.

PM Nawaz said that work on a number of power projects is in progress to overcome load-shedding while the Golen Gol Hydropower Project in Chitral will be completed soon. On the occasion, he announced establishment of a Women University in Chitral and said that besides construction of Hazara Motorway, Chakdara-Chitral road will also be constructed on the patron of motorway.
