March 25, 2019: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday hinted towards a possible discovery of Asia’s largest oil and gas reserves in Karachi’s offshore waters. He backed this statement by announcing that the nation would be hearing a ‘major news’ within the next three weeks.

“Just pray that our hopes and expectations from the offshore drilling being carried out by ExxonMobil-led consortium prove to be true” he said.  

The PM said that if the offshore exploration process turns out to be successful, it could bring about an enormous change in Pakistan’s fortunes.
