KARACHI, Feb 3 (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz
Sharif Friday said the government’s focus on expansion of
motorways network across the country had realized the dream of
a developed and prosperous Pakistan.
“Today, the people are witnessing the emergence of a new
Pakistan with improved infrastructure and communication
network, and we have given reality to this dream,” the Prime
Minister said in his address at the inauguration of 75-km-long
section of Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway.

country’s economy and were significant in enhancing national
unity by reducing the distances among people belonging to
different parts of country.
He said his government was completely focusing on its
agenda of development and progress, paying no heed to the
negative politicking around.
“Building the nation is no way a child’s play and
requires utmost dedication and hard work, which we are
delivering,” he said.
Nawaz Sharif said, “The people of Pakistan can well
distinguish the dedicated and selfless leaders from those who
have wasted time of the nation by impeding development through
protests.”
He said economy of a country depended a lot on
comprehensive road network, however regretted that those who
traveled in routine through chartered aircraft were most
critical of construction of motorways and roads.
“Such people have no realization about the importance of
roads for common people including farmers, workers and
students who daily travel through roads for jobs or
education,” he said.
The Prime Minister said he was grateful to Allah
Almighty as the country had embarked upon a new journey
towards progress and prosperity.
