LAHORE: Federal Minister for Planning and Reforms Ahsan Iqbal has reiterated that the assumption of power by an incompetent ruler has led the country to destruction.

Pakistan would have to create products meeting international standards, suggested a federal minister.
Attributing the success to hard work or resources, the federal minister said, Arshad Nadeem has made Pakistan proud and won the gold medal with his hard work and dedication.
Speaking about the power crisis, he linked the crisis to past governments and announced the government’s efforts to resolve the power crisis.
He said “expensive electricity and price hikes are bitter pills to take for two to three years”.
Speaking about the IMF loan, Ahsan Iqbal said, “It is a bitter recipe of the IMF, the country would have gone bankrupt if we had not asked for the IMF loan.
What we lack is political stability,” he said. “Instead of calling each other thieves and thieves, we have to work together for Pakistan,” the federal minister said.
The sit-in, protest and chaos have led the country to anarchy and destruction, the PML-N leader described.
Ahsan Iqbal said that no policy must stay in the country for more than three to four years, CPEC has derailed and created a rift.
