Unveiling the manifesto in Lahore, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif also pledged eradication of corruption, an end to terrorism and quick inexpensive justice, devolution of power to grass roots level through revival of local governments within six months if coming into power. Minimum wage would be raised to Rs15,000 from current Rs8,000.
The PML-N chief said the document was an all embracing agenda for bringing real change and revived confidence of people.
Sharif vowed to make economy an impregnable force of the country, saying the party, in this regard, will increase country’s exports to $100 billion with the collaboration of the private sector.
“We will build a new Pakistan where peace should prevail and people would enjoy economically healthier life,” he said, adding that priority agenda to be undertaken would seek bringing significant improvement in industrial as well as agriculture sectors so that the country would cope with global challenges and developing economies.
On the issue of new provinces, the PML-N chief vowed to continue struggle for creating Hazara, South Punjab and Bahawalpur provinces.
He said a strong defence was imperative for the country and it would be made invincible by equipping with modern equipment to maintain balance of power in the region. He said a cabinet committee on defence and national security headed by the prime minister would be established to maintain democratic oversight of all aspects of foreign and defence policies, ensure that all institutions i.e., civil or military act in accordance with the law and under the instructions and directives of the federal cabinet.
Needs and requirements of the armed forces would be met under all circumstances, and strategic assets would be protected.
The PML-N, he said, would strive to eventually provide a house to each Pakistani family through pubic-private partnership.
