Abdul Aleem Khan, the President of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), highlighted the crucial role played by the Pakistan Army in ensuring the stability of the nation.
Speaking at a workers’ convention in Kamoki, the seasoned politician attributed the current state of stability to the unwavering commitment of the armed forces, stating that the stability of the country is owed to the Pakistan Army.
Aleem Khan firmly asserted that, under his leadership, the IPP would not tolerate any dissent against the military. Shifting the focus to local issues, he addressed concerns in Kamonki, including inadequate healthcare facilities, lack of clean water, and subpar infrastructure.
He pledged that, if the IPP assumed power, Kamonki would be transformed into a model city, with the establishment of a cardiology hospital and overall improvement in amenities.
Taking a swipe at past administrations, Aleem Khan criticized previous governments for making grand promises without delivering. He highlighted the achievements and failures of an 18-month government, with electricity bills serving as a lingering reminder of its tenure. Aleem Khan accused previous rulers of corruption, asserting that trust in the system had been eroded.
Looking ahead, Aleem Khan outlined economic reforms and social welfare initiatives, including plans for free electricity for the poor, doubled electricity prices for the affluent, interest-free loans for the youth, and raising the minimum wage to 50 thousand rupees. He emphasized the need to boost industry, increase exports, and provide job opportunities for the youth.
As part of his vision for a prosperous Pakistan, Aleem Khan pledged to build a dispensary in every union council, ensuring free treatment and medicines. He proposed reducing the price of petrol for motorcyclists by half to alleviate the financial burden on the people.
