However, as elections are on its way and the caretaking government have stepped in, all previous efforts to hide financial losses in the gas sector have come in to the light.
Pakistan can only expect to do better if the new government makes its economy stronger and return its debts. So the children of our country can gain education and not skills to earn money at their young age. For more news and update keep on visiting our website as much as possible.
