Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif emphasized on Sunday that the public has rejected political unrest, instead opting for policies that address economic challenges such as inflation and overall living standards.

“The people want a reduction in inflation, solutions to their problems, and economic betterment,” he stated in a release from the PM Office.

Highlighting the urgency of tackling the country’s economic issues, the prime minister called for a change in political priorities. He urged leaders to concentrate on resolving economic concerns rather than organizing political rallies.

“We will hold rallies in 2028; but right now, it is time to work hard to fulfill the pledges made to the people,” he said.

Shehbaz Sharif stressed that economic recovery is closely linked to political stability, cautioning that any political disruption would hinder efforts to provide relief to the population. “Economic recovery is tied to political stability; political chaos means affecting the process of providing relief to the people,” he noted.

He commended the public for fostering political stability and recognized their role in promoting economic growth. According to the prime minister, national unity is essential to maintain this progress. “National unity for political stability will prove to be the guarantee of Pakistan’s bright economic future and relief from inflation,” he remarked.

Addressing Pakistan’s ongoing economic and security issues, the prime minister called for cooperation among political parties, institutions, and provinces. “To tackle economic challenges and terrorism, the nation, political parties, institutions, and provinces must work together,” he urged.

Reflecting on past political turmoil, Shehbaz Sharif expressed regret over the time lost in political instability and stressed that further delays would harm the country.

On the economic front, he expressed optimism, noting that inflation had dropped to single digits and that the overall economic landscape was improving. “Thank God, inflation has returned to single digits, and the economic situation is improving,” he said, citing rising exports, a stable currency, increasing remittances, and declining interest rates as positive indicators.

Looking ahead, the prime minister emphasized that Pakistan’s current program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) should be its last, stating, “if it is so, it will be a true success.”

He also cautioned that abusive language, violence, and unrest would not lead to progress, calling on provinces and institutions to play their part in solving public problems.
