ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Dr Abdul Hafeez Sheikh Monday highlighted 10 basic facts about Pakistan, saying there was not a single prime minister in the country’s history who had completed his/her five year’s tenure, while Pakistan had chosen to ignore its people that had grave consequences.
“Not a single prime minister has successfully completed his/her five-year tenure yet, so how sustainability of policies can be assured in such a scenario. The longest tenure was achieved by the former PM Liaquat Ali Khan, who served from 1947 to 1951 and there was none who could surpass him in terms of serving the country in a single tenure. There is a need to ponder over it,” Dr Hafeez Sheikh said in an online webinar arranged by the Institute of Policy Reforms (IPR) titled “Making Pakistan Prosper: Strategy for Economic Growth and Development.”
