The Prime Minister said he would review the Abbottabad Commission Report before making a decision to make it public. The Prime Minister was on a three-day official visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina. When sought comments on the return of co-chairperson of Pakistan People's Party Asif Ali Zardari to Pakistan, the Prime Minister said, "Frankly, I am happy on his return. He should come back and take over the reins of his party."
The Prime Minister said he was in favour of political affinity and mentioned "the Charter of Democracy" signed along with PPP. He said never during the government of PPP did he make any attempt to derail the set-up. Despite differences with PPP, Sharif said his party did not adopt the policy of agitation or sit-ins. He said though 2016 was a difficult year for his government, however it was going to end on a good note.
"To run affairs of the country is not every one's job, and particularly not for those habitual of making sit-ins," he said. Without naming General Pervez Musharraf, the Prime Minister said even those with seven-point agenda could not make a positive difference and eventually pitched the country into the abyss of electricity loadshedding. The Prime Minister dismissed the impression that the government was making efforts to end power crisis with a view to winning votes in the next general election. In fact, he said, his government is aiming to address all development issues, adding that he would continue the policy of introducing reforms in all sectors.
He mentioned that a project of construction of 49 modern hospitals was actively being taken up and people in several districts have been issued health cards. He said transparency had been ensured in the projects of Liquefied Natural Gas and Solar plants, and added Rs 100 billion from national exchequer had been saved.
