Adil Farhat appreciated that the provincial government arranged facilities for the business community during the coronavirus pandemic and tax relief, to the tune of billions of rupees, has been given. The company would benefit from the investment opportunities as a conducive atmosphere was provided to the trade and business community, he added.
Meanwhile, in another statement issued on Thursday, Sardar Usman Buzdar said the nation will never forget the irresponsible behaviour of the opposition in critical circumstances. The opposition used power to increase their bank balances instead of serving the masses; he added and maintained that the opposition parties are only interested in protecting their personal interests. The elements trying to spread anarchy have been fully exposed as they are not loyal to the people but are plunderers of the country, concluded the CM.
