ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Minister of State Shiza Fatima stressed the need to make tough decisions to steer Pakistan back towards the path to progress.
Speaking to the media along with party leaders, she asserted that under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif, the country would improve. She also cited former PM Nawaz Sharif's successful navigation of challenges from 2013 to 2017 when Pakistan gained significant economic growth.
With assistance from the IMF, Sharif's administration managed to extricate the nation from its financial woes.

PML-N leader Rana Mashhood highlighted Nawaz Sharif's success in curbing terrorism and alleviating load shedding during his tenure. He also attributed his disqualification in 2017 to false allegations.
Mashhood criticized that there was no project on the last government's credit. He also talked about the Donald Lu hearing and a letter to the IMF written by a party.
