Terming the agreement signed with International Monetary Fund (IMF) as ‘a breather for the country’, he stressed that they should convert it into an opportunity, adding that it was also a moment of introspection for all.
“They should bury their differences and become one and if they decide it, then nothing could hinder the country from moving on the path of progress and prosperity. We have to resolve to equip young generations with the latest education especially the poor and deprived classes,” he added.
