PM Imran: Govt will continue to introduce new reforms

Our government will remain adamant on introducing new reforms until we are in power, said Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday while addressing a gathering in Peshawar.

“We faced huge resistance when we brought
reforms in the FBR. Many businessmen did not want to come under the tax radar,”
he said.

The premier stressed that the Medical
Teaching Institutions Act is being introduced to raise the standard of public
hospitals.

“Our hospitals are under control of the
bureaucrats who have no clue how modern medical facilities function,” he
remarked.

“The corrupt mafia is trying to sabotage
our goals by portraying our reforms in the wrong way.”

PM Khan said he wants such a system where
common citizens can avail top treatment when they visit public hospitals.

Our lack of focus on research and education
has pulled us back, he said, adding that 2019 was a difficult year for his
newly elected government.

Even Bangladesh is ahead of Pakistan
because of our corrupt system which has destroyed our institutions, he added.

He gave examples of Malaysian Prime
Minister Mahathir Mohamad and Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan for “developing
their country through reforms”.

Speaking about the protests in India
against the anti-citizenship law, PM Khan likened the incumbent Indian
government leadership with Germany’s Adolf Hitler.

“Even literate Sikhs, Parsis and Hindus have stood up against the law which clearly targets Indian Muslims,” PM said.
