Government Ridicules PTI as Remittances Reach Record High
Embarking on a victory lap fueled by record-breaking remittances, the government has taken a bold stance against the PTI’s civil disobedience call, labeling it a failure. The ruling PML-N, buoyed by the influx of cash from overseas Pakistanis, has openly mocked the PTI, asserting that the party’s attempts to disrupt the economy have fallen flat in the face of soaring remittances.
A New Dawn of Prosperity
In a bold move, the ruling party celebrated the nation’s morning of prosperity, attributing the surge in remittances to the categorical rejection of anti-government sentiments propagated by the PTI. Punjab senior minister Marriyum Aurangzeb extended congratulations to the country, heralding the overseas Pakistanis for their unwavering support in safeguarding the economy against destabilizing forces.
Record-Breaking Remittances and PIA’s Resurgence
The State Bank of Pakistan’s announcement of $3.1 billion in remittances for December marked a significant milestone, reflecting a 29.3% increase compared to the previous year. As the government basked in this achievement, PIA restored its flights to Europe after a hiatus of over four years, with the inaugural flight to Paris symbolizing a resurgence in the national carrier’s operations.
Expert Insights and National Accolades
Amidst the jubilation, experts and government officials weighed in on the implications of the record remittances. Bilal Azhar Kayani, Convener of the National Parliamentary Taskforce on Sustainable Development Goals, hailed the remittance figures as a resounding rejection of the PTI’s disruptive campaign, underscoring the critical role played by overseas Pakistanis in bolstering the economy. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif echoed these sentiments, applauding the nation for its resilience and dismissing the claims of those seeking to derail economic progress.
As the government revels in the triumph of record-high remittances and the revival of PIA’s international operations, the resounding message remains clear: the nation stands united in safeguarding its economic stability against divisive forces.
