The prime minister said in a series of tweets on Wednesday that the Tehreek (PTI) administration was responsible for the project’s delays and that the former ruling party had incurred “costly delays” in every project, from infrastructure to electricity.
How the previous administration failed to fund the project given access to a $445 billion grant, a $450 billion soft loan, plus feasibility studies is beyond comprehension. The Muslim League of Pakistan president, who took office after Imran Khan was deposed in April, stated in another tweet that the “time for presentation” was gone and that it was now “time for action.”
The expansion of Gwadar’s infrastructure is not its only purpose; as a component of CPEC, it also has political, economic, and strategic value. The nation’s common duty, according to the PM, is to “transform Balochistan’s backwardness into wealth.
“Following a meeting he presided over to assess several uplift projects in Balochistan, particularly Gwadar—the gem in the crown of the China Corridor (CPEC) project—PM Sharif tweeted. The PM demanded that the chair of the inspection panel give a thorough report regarding the “criminal negligence” that led to delays in the development of breakwaters at the port within one week of the meeting.
