Centre, Punjab’s industrial development claims termed false

PESHAWAR: Criticising the federal and Punjab government, Adviser to Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Finance and Inter-Provincial Coordination Muzzammil Aslam on Saturday termed the Punjab and federal government’s claims regarding industrial development as false.

In a statement, he claimed that the production of the development in the month of September was negative 1.92percent and in August it was negative, 2.6percent. Mu­zamil Aslam further said that one can imagine unemployment in the country. “These statistics are for those who are celebrating the stock market performance,” he added.

“In the end it is becoming difficult for me to decide whether the first number in the worst performance is Punjab or Federation,” he added.
