Earlier, members of the prime minister’s team including Federal Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar and Federal Minister for Industries and Productions Hammad Azhar also hailed the PTI government’s efforts to bring down the price.
“When an attempt is made to change a corrupt system then those benefitting from it tend to resist but if the government is courageous then it succeeds in the end,” Asad Umar said.
پچھلے ایک ماہ میں ملک میں چینی کی اوسط قیمت میں 31 روپیہ فی کلو کمی ہوئی ہے. جب بگڑا ہوا نظام بدلنے کی کوشش ہوتی ہے تو اس نظام سے مستفید ہونے والے مزاحمت کرتے ہیں، اور اگر وہ طاقتور لوگ ہوں تو مزاحمت زیادہ ہوتی ہے. لیکن اگر حکومت نیک نیت اور باہمت ہو تو آخر کار کامیاب ہوتی ہے
