10 million jobs to be created soon: minister
37
GUJAR KHAN: Information Minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Saturday said the government had reduced imports and enhanced exports and was also cutting down the fiscal deficit through its policies.
He said 10 million new jobs would soon be created for the youth while 500,000 houses would be constructed for the poor as promised by the PTI government.
Addressing a press conference at Mangla near Jhelum, the minister said 2019 was going to be the year of an economic change in the country.
Prime Minister Imran Khan is poised to give no let-up or make a deal or compromise on recovering looted resources of the country. He said overseas Pakistanis were the backbone of Pakistan’s economy and they should send foreign exchange through legal channels instead of hawala or hundi.
The minister said accountability was the election slogan of the PTI and would continue. He said grabbed lands were being retrieved from the land mafia.
The minister said Mangla and Jhelum had centuries-old history and the people of Jhelum had always defeated mafias.

how ? jobs cant be created by day dreaming. First create MERIT culture, so far MERIT does not prevail. Then bring investment and allow foreign companies to come and invest, reduces taxes for technology companies, create tax free zones ……..
Enough of talking, time for implementation now

Such tall promises would prove to be counter-productive in the next elections if PTI fails to fulfil them which appears to be on the cards..

Info Minister should give the date of completion of these projects, not the date of start, because all projects start all right,(for foto opp) but never completed. Making fool is easy, doing job is hard.

There's nothing wrong in building castles in the air. Now put foundations under them. Where's the capital to construct these and where are the jobs? Minister should clarify... The road map and the duration needs to be spelt out clearly.

He probably meant 10 million plus 1.
He can only hope he still has a job after PTI is no longer in power.

Sir, please hold your tongue...don't make big statements...Talk is cheap...Action is everything...If there are at least 3-4 new foreign Companies coming up in Pakistan every month, then do the talking...Your neighbor PM said the same thing and I hope you don't follow their footsteps...Now they are on a brink of defeat after their 4.5 years rule...Hope you won't repeat them...

The sad part of Pakistan is people forget that the previous governments are responsible for the mess and they are not bothered about the way they were looted. However they will hold the present government responsible for all their provisions...They will nail them for every statement they make...

Now the supporters of PMLN and PPP will also want jobs from the PTI government. Don't worry, every job will be given to the quakfied Pakistani irrespective of his/her affiliations. This is Naya Pakistan of Kaptan Iman Khan.
