Both the leaders in a meeting here stressed that the government would not allow subversive activities by a tiny minority to come in the way of well-being of the masses, who want to utilise their potential and resources for their long deserved progress and prosperity.
Musharraf and Shaukat said the development projects are aimed at socio-economic improvement in the lives of the people in far-flung areas as their progress means progress of the country.
They also reviewed the pace of work on various development projects and emphasised that the government would remain undeterred and pursue all development projects to their logical conclusion.
The development projects, they observed, would herald progress by transmitting benefits of mainstream economic development at the grassroots level.
The country has entered a vital stage of economic advancement, so nobody will be allowed to impede the process of development, they maintained.
Discussing law and order, they noted the need to keep a strict check on saboteurs and bring them to book in accordance with the law of the land.
They also exchanged views on current political environment in the country.
