Except for a few unfortunate incidents the process of distribution is going well.
The PDM government got a mismanaged IMF deal from their predecessors But they have no other choice other than the IMF deal and accept their condition, PM Shehbaz Sharif added.
The last condition of the IMF deal was to lend a guaranteed amount from the friendly countries and the brotherly countries Saudi Arabia, UAE and China helped Pakistan in these tough, PM Shehbaz Sharif added.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif lambasted the former chief justice supreme court for banning and halting the projects started by the then PML-N government. He said that out of 56 companies, they did not prove corruption in even one company.
