PM to inaugurate K-2 project of Nuclear Power Plant in Karachi
Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif called on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif at the PM House in Islamabad on Tuesday to deliberate on the proposed agenda.
Talking at an event in Karachi, Prime Minister spoke his heart out using Punjabi poetry.
PM Sharif was earlier received by Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ibad and Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah upon his arrival.
Earlier, the PM inaugurated concrete pouring ceremony of the Nuclear Power Plant-II in Karachi.
The offer fizzled, he said, when the non military personnel Intelligence Bureau (IB) – which was tapping some of Islam’s phone discussions – exhibited proof of the plot to the Prime Minister, who then educated the armed force boss.
The meeting was also attended by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz and Special Assistant Tariq Fatemi.
The prime minister said action should be taken against the persons responsible for installing CCTV cameras of poor quality.
He said Pakistan’s economic indicators were positive, investors confidence has been restored, country’s image has been improved internationally and more people were getting employment as several new projects were being completed.
He said it was during his previous government that Pakistan and China initiated cooperation in peaceful use of nuclear power through the construction of Chashma Nuclear-I. He added that terrorist activities and attacks will not stop the government’s mission.
According to sources, a high level meeting will be held at the Governor House where Rangers and Corps Commanders will brief PM Nawaz on the law and order situation, along with the ongoing Karachi operations which were put in place to eliminate terrorism.
“The construction of K-2 and K-3 power plants will further strengthen the steadfast friendship between the two nations”, Nawaz said.
IG police gave a briefing to the prime minister on the investigation of attack on MQM leader Rashid Godil.
Following the apex committee meeting, PM Nawaz also addressed representatives of Karachi’s Parsi community.
