KARACHI OCT 28 (TNS): Unelected power corridors are trying to destabilize the country’s economy, which has achieved a 10-year high growth and is set to turn Pakistan into an Asian tiger by 2025, Federal Minister for Interior Ahsan Iqbal said on Friday.

“If we choose to set up a non-elected government, (then) it will be tantamount to murdering the economy,” Iqbal remarked at a conference on “CPEC: An Opportunity for Economic Transformation” organized by the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI).

“We should tell the world loud and clear that Pakistan is rising, thanks to the reforms we have undertaken and thanks to CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor),” he said.
