He added that a permanent solution to the energy crisis is only possible through transparent governance, effective reforms, and the supremacy of law and the Constitution.

He further stated that Pakistan Awami Tehreek will continue its struggle for workers’ rights and industrial development.

Vice President Mian Zahid Islam said that scientific advancement, artificial intelligence, and the digital revolution have given the world a new direction. Therefore, providing young people access to modern education, technology, digital skills, and research opportunities is a national necessity.

Central Information Secretary and Spokesperson Noorullah Siddiqui said that in view of the growing population, urban challenges, and administrative complexities, the country requires new administrative units, a strong local government system, and modern administrative reforms.
