That time will come when the neighbouring team will visit too,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the smog pollution in Punjab, Nawaz responded with criticising the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), asking &#8220;where is the billion-tree tsunami [project]?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere are the billion trees, where are the 5 million jobs and where are the dams. I cannot see anything. PTI should point out the project that it started when it ruled in the federal. Is there any other project the former ruling party can name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further said that the PTI started the culture of misbehaviour and hooliganism. \u201cThis is extremely unfortunate. They promoted the culture of hooliganism in their government and did the same while in the opposition. To establish such a culture is unfortunate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey run after cars like zombies with eggs and tomatoes. So, if agitation is written in your fate, then do it appropriately. Youth have been taught to chase cars and chant dirty slogans. Our religion and culture don\u2019t teach this,\u201d he regretted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A journalist asked him that it&#8217;s believed that PTI founder Imran Khan will stay inside the jail for as long as he [PML-N president] wants, Nawaz replied: \u201cAsk those who believe so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Nawaz praised his brother and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for &#8220;going out of way&#8221; to help Pakistan\u2019s economy. He said that the economic indicators are getting better and the premier has stabilised a falling economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReserves are going up. Stock exchange is rising every day. Interest rates are coming down, so is inflation. Maryam brought down the flour prices soon after coming to power. Punjab government gave Rs55 billion for the electricity relief,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For her part, Punjab CM Maryam said that it\u2019s after the previous Nawaz\u2019s government, that now the country was getting good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe issue of smog has been there for several years and we cannot fix it overnight but we are doing our utmost to resolve it. We are taking every step to resolve this. No steps were taken previously to deal with this issue,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/assets\/uploads\/updates\/2024-11-12\/1250317_9264178_smog_updates.jpg\" alt=\"A view of Gurdwara Dera Sahib, Lahore Fort and a minaret of the Badshahi Mosque, seen amid smog in Lahore, November 4, 2024. \u2014 Reuters\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A view of Gurdwara Dera Sahib, Lahore Fort and a minaret of the Badshahi Mosque, seen amid smog in Lahore, November 4, 2024. \u2014 Reuters&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To a question regarding the provincial airline, the chief minister said: &#8220;We\u2019re exploring and considering the idea of starting Punjab Airline.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m undergoing treatment, but I\u2019m doing well!&#8221; she said when asked about her health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former premier took flight from London last week to Geneva while the Punjab chief minister left for Switzerland city on a special Pakistan Air Force plane from Lahore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CM Maryam was accompanied by Senior Punjab Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb and personal staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference Link:- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/latest\/1250317-trumps-victory-can-further-improve-pakistan-us-ties-hopes-optimistic-nawaz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/latest\/1250317-trumps-victory-can-further-improve-pakistan-us-ties-hopes-optimistic-nawaz<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cRelations with India can be improved and there seems to be no hindrance to it,&#8221; says PML-N president Following President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s victory in the recently-held elections, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif expressed hope that the Pakistan\u2019s relations with the United States will remain stable and improve further during the former\u2019s tenure.\u00a0 The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2],"tags":[58,105,5973,36,5972,1313,5971,5737,40],"class_list":["post-10171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sample-category","tag-america","tag-geopolitics-2","tag-optimistic-views","tag-pakistan","tag-pakistan-america","tag-pakistan-us-2","tag-pml-n","tag-trump","tag-us"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10171"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10173,"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10171\/revisions\/10173"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gsrra.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
