Federal Minister for Energy Hammad Azhar has said that inflation has increased in Pakistan because it is a global trend. He added that “inflation has benefitted traders and industrialists”.
“Our competition is with inflation, not with the Opposition,” said Hammad.
Azhar was addressing a press conference in Lahore along with Punjab Minister for Local Bodies Mian Mehmood-ur-Rasheed. Hammad, while talking about the local government elections, said, “To win the local body elections, we will benefit from the experience of senior leaders like Mian Mehmood-ur-Rasheed and give honest leadership to Lahore.”
“In order to win the elections, the internal differences of the party will be eliminated. The party’s organisation in Lahore will be announced in the next few days. We will win the local bodies’ elections through hard work and make Lahore a stronghold of PTI,” he added.
On January 22, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf nominated Hammad Azhar as the party’s candidate for the mayorship of Lahore.
