He said some people had been sowing misunderstandings on the CPEC for nothing.

Mamnoon said the whole country would soon reap the benefits of the CPEC, adding the CPEC does not belong to a political party or a group rather it was the project of the whole country which would transform nation’s plight. He said education, health and transport were the top most priorities of the government, adding the present government had to face economic challenges due to the bad policies of the
previous governments.

adding the present government would ensure that our youth get the best education.

to the Muslim nationhood in the subcontinent. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan’s
services for the Muslims of the sub-continent will always be remembered, he added.
