PML-N eyes poverty alleviation through youth emancipation: Shehbaz

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif announced Wednesday if the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) were to come into power, their primary focus over the next five years would be on stabilising the economy, combating inflation and empowering the nation's youth.

In a statement issued here, Shehbaz Sharif outlined his party’s strategic goals for the years 2024 to 2029, emphasising that special attention would be directed towards key sectors, including agriculture, information technology, minerals and energy.

Shehbaz stressed that the country's youth, constituting 68 percent of the population, could only receive education, training and skills through the visionary leadership of the PML-N.

He recalled the party's past achievements, particularly under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, which included providing employment opportunities, education, skill development, and instilling hope among the youth.

Shehbaz mentioned that during their previous government, the PML-N had initiated a groundbreaking Rs20 billion youth empowerment programme.

The PML-N president underlined that the youth represented Pakistan's future and claimed that their prospects had always been positively influenced by Nawaz Sharif. He asserted that the party's efforts would contribute to reducing poverty through the emancipation of the country's youth.

Shehbaz Sharif revealed plans to expand the Danish School System nationwide, noting that their previous school initiatives had significantly improved the lives of underprivileged students. He also announced his party’s intention to distribute more free laptops to catalyse an information technology revolution in Pakistan.
