Govt successfully completed relief, rescue operation in flood-hit areas: Marriyum

Minister for information and Broadcasting, Marriyum Aurangzeb says the coalition government in collaboration with national institutions has successfully completed relief and rescue operation in flood-hit areas and now all is set to enter into rehabilitation phase.

Addressing media in Islamabad on Saturday, she appreciated the role of all departments and institutions to help successful completion of rescue and relief operation in flood affected areas.

The Minister also appreciated the positive role of media in this regard saying that all media houses run free of cost campaign for flood victims.

She said on the one hand our government is striving for revival of country's economy and its diplomatic relations with rest of the world while on the other side PTI chairman is busy in promoting chaos and anarchy.

She said Imran Khan is pursuing his unfinished agenda of destabilizing the country at the time when country is facing unprecedented economic challenge in the wake of historic floods.

The Minister said according to recent reports of the World Bank, these floods inflicted an estimated loss of thirty billion dollars to our economy. She said according to the report of international institutions, it will take at least ten years to recover the loss.

The Minister said Imran Khan's foreign funded march will be thwarted by the masses as they are aware of his foreign agenda.

She said we will not take his dictations and next general elections will be held after completion of current assemblies' tenure.
