CHITRAL: Member National  Assembly (MNA) Shahzada  Iftikharuddin on Saturday  said that uncertain situation  was being created in the  country to stop the development  process.  “The Nawaz Sharif-led  government has launched  several mega projects across  the country. Many mega projects,  including Lowari Tunnel  are in final stages even in  Chitral. And the enemy of the  country want to sabotage all  these initiatives,” he told The  News.  The MNA said the China-  Pakistan Economic Corridor  (CPEC) would usher in a  new era of prosperity and development  in the country.  “Many countries do not  want CPEC projects to complete.  I hope the saner elements  in Pakistan would realise  the situation,” he  maintained.  The MNA hoped the  Supreme Court would decide  the Panama Papers case according  to the law.  “The SC will see all legal  aspects of the Joint Investigation  Report (JIT) report.  And there is no direct allegations  against the premier,” he  added.  The MNA urged all political  parties to join hands for  the development of the country.  “The leaders should shun  the politics of leg-pulling.  The country is passing  through a very difficult situation  and join strategy is  needed to cope with it,” he  said.  The MNA said the prime  minister would inaugurate  the Lowari Tunnel during the  visit to Shandur.  “The premier will also announce  more projects for the  development of Chitral,” he  added.  The MNA said he had embarked  on visit of the entire  district during which he  would inaugurate projects in  different areas.
