Visits Dunya News head office
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Tuesday the government would complete its term in August.
She expressed these views while speaking to a reporter during her visit to the Dunya News head office in Lahore.
She said it was a wonderful experience to visit the office and meet the management. “It is a pleasure to meet all the staff,” she added.
Answering a question, the federal minister said the government had presented growth-inclusive budget, adding that the package also supported development in sectors like IT, agriculture, youth, and women. “It will ensure speedy progress in the country,” she added.
She went on to say that the government would complete its constitutional term in August, adding that it would follow a caretaker setup and elections. “The PML-N has started election campaign and it is the only party that is [active] in the field right now,” she added.
Ms Aurangzeb said the party would continue its campaign with complete consistency, adding that elections would be held after the completion of the constitutional term. “The PML-N paved the way for progress whenever people mandated it to the power,” she said.
Answering another query, she said the PML-N changed the status of the country whenever it came to power. Its biggest success, she said, was saving the country’s economy from default. “We have lowered prices of petroleum products despite difficult conditions and given relief to people,” she added.
As for PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s return to Pakistan, she said Mr Sharif would return before elections. “The PDM leadership will take a decision if the parties want to stay united for elections but the PML-N will fully contest elections,” she said.
At one point, she condemned the May 9 attacks. She said the perpetrators would be brought to justice on the basis of proper investigation.
