MUZAFFARABAD, Nov 14: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz spokesman Siddiqul Farooq said on Thursday that Karachi would become a peaceful metropolis within the next three months as the PML-N government was striving to achieve this goal.

“More than 60 per cent of peace has been restored in Karachi and within next three months there will be complete peace,” he said while talking to journalists here at the residence of PML-N vice president and a former mayor of Muzaffarabad, Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmed.

“Before long, you will also hear promising news with regard to Balochistan,” he said.

Listing fiscal woes and other problems the PML-N government inherited, he said the biggest issue before the government was to overcome the energy crisis, eliminate terrorism, increase the revenue base through taxation and consolidate economy in consultation with all political forces. “We do not want that the unity of political parties on these issues should suffer any dent for any reason.”

According to him, it was one of the reasons that the PML-N had pulled out of the no-confidence move against AJK Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majeed in July this year. Secondly, since the PML-N was not in a position to form its own government in Azad Kashmir, it was decided to keep away from any such move.—Staff Correspondent
