President Alvi emphasises significance of considering national interests

LAHORE (Dunya News) – President Dr Arif Alvi emphasised on Thursday the need for considering the national interests, stating that nothing in politics could be regarded as definitive.

Mr Alvi met Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, MNA Hussain Elahi and former federal minister Moonis Elahi during his visit to Punjab s provincial capital. They discussed matters of mutual interest as well as the political and economic state of the country. The Punjab chief minister informed Mr Alvi of the development initiatives as well as the steps taken to bring relief to the people. 

Mr Elahi spoke about the country’s economy and voiced his concern over the deteriorating state of the economy. Slamming the coalition government, he asserted that the federal government would do anything to maintain its power. He reiterated that the PML-Q leaders stood by PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s side – specifically the block led by CM Elahi. 

Mr Alvi made it clear that the spirit of nationalism was paramount because "the motherland demands us to promote the national cohesiveness and political tolerance." He said he believed in amicably settling the political issues. "With the blessings of Allah Almighty, Pakistan would make its way to the road to prosperity road," hoped Mr Alvi.
