Afghanistan could overtake Pakistan in economic development terms: Iqbal
Pakistan’s minister of interior affairs Ahsan Iqbal has expressed concerns regarding the persistent issues the country is facing on political level as he has warned that Afghanistan could overtake the country in terms of development if immediate steps are not taken to resolve the issues.
AVA- In his speech during a ceremony regarding CPEC, Iqbal said “If political stability is not ensured and people’s mandate not respected, all such initiatives could go down the drain. Even Afghanistan will move ahead of Pakistan in development if these crucial areas are ignored anymore,” according to Dawn News.
He also pointed out the other issues the country was facing before including the menace but added that the PML-N had identified the major gaps in infrastructural development and energy crisis.
Iqbal also added that Afghanistan had major development on political level during the recent years as he also criticized the media agencies for remaining reckless to share a positive image regarding the efforts for the economic development.
“In the war-torn Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai completed his term. Now President Ashraf Ghani is set to complete his tenure. I fear even Afghanistan will overtake Pakistan in economic terms in the near future,” he said.
