ABBOTTABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Monday that Pakistan cannot move forward without the supremacy of law, adding that the government was struggling to ensure the same. “We are fighting a war to rectify the system and it is a war to ensure the supremacy of law,” the premier said as he addressed a ceremony at the inauguration of a hotel in Nathia Gali, Abottabad.
PM Imran further stated that only those societies progressed where rule of law prevailed. “Countries where law isn’t supreme have not been witnessing prosperity,” he added. He further stated that influential figures who had amassed wealth abroad were launching attacks on the government because they didn’t want rule of law to prevail. “These people want to continue benefiting from a corrupt system,” he said.
The premier added that wealth creation was the biggest need of Pakistan as it could generate job opportunities and increase tax collection. “The overseas Pakistanis require ease of process and opportunities for investment.”
“Pakistanis who are eligible are residing abroad because of better opportunities,” he said. PM Imran told those in attendance that large scale manufacturing had been improving. “We will be progressing forward with every year.”
Referring to the inauguration of the international-level hotel, Imran said that tourism could help Pakistan get rid of its debt. On August 27, Prime Minister Imran Khan launched the Roshan Apna Ghar Scheme for overseas Pakistanis, who could now purchase or obtain financing for a house in Pakistan through the Roshan Digital Account (RDA).
