'2020 is the year of development, economic revival'

Adviser to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam Wednesday said that 2020 is the year of development and economic revival as all the initiatives and reforms of the government would bear fruit in this year.

Talking to the media outside the Parliament House on Wednesday, he said that the price hike of petroleum goods occurred due to increase in global crude oil prices which affected prices in Pakistan. He said that 2020 is the year of delivering to the masses for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government. He said most of the projects and initiatives of the government are ready for implementation with their financing being made that would help benefit the people at grassroots level. He said that "Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme, Clean Green Pakistan and Ehsaas programs would help create jobs and begin sustainable economic development."

He said while referring to the opposition's resistance against the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Ordinance (Amendment) Bill that the opposition's disagreement was incomprehensible. "The opposition had been raising voice for amendment in the 'draconian' NAB Ordinance earlier but now they are opposing it. They want to defend the looters of public money and this would not happen.
