September 12, 2024 (MLN): The incumbent government is establishing ‘economic zones’ in different parts to boost business activity in the country, Federal Minister for Industries and Production Rana Tanveer Hussain said on Wednesday.

“We are working to promote industrial sectors and for this, all necessary steps are being taken to achieve the objectives,” he said while talking to a private television channel as reported by APP.

In reply to a question, he said the International Monetary Fund didn’t raise any condition regarding economic zones.

Commenting on constitutional amendment, he said, “We should have a required number of voters in the Houses to bring amendment.”

“We hope that the leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Maulana Fazal ur Rehman would support the government to bring legislation and amendment,” he added.

To a question about the role of PTI in the current situation, he said Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI), should avoid wasting time of the public through politics of agitation.

He said that the opposition should come forward with suggestions for reforms so that country could make progress in every sector at a fast pace.
