Jobs will exceed the number of people in Pakistan in 7 to 10 days: Faisal Vawda
Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda has guaranteed that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-drove government will make “such a large number of occupations, Organizations will come up short on individuals to utilize”.
While appearing at a talk show on a private TV channel, Vawda continued “whether you talk about the stock exchange, property, industry or even the media, where people are being fired with the onus placed on the government, there will be many jobs and I am urging the owners not to fire people.”
He said, “We have to put up with the inflation and poor economy because we have no choice. It was passed on to us from the previous governments. We have to take loans to pay off interest left behind for us. But we can offer an incentive to make it easier for the public to bear the inflation.”
We will fix the dearth of jobs that the public was also facing along with the inflation. There will be so many jobs and the situation will become so much better,” he said.
“These incentives will materialize soon and I am not talking in terms of years, I am talking in terms of a week, ten days or maybe two to four weeks. Things will change in a very short time and I repeat businesses should stop firing people,” the minister said with surety.
Speaking on Capital Talk, Vawda said there would be a “burst of jobs” and a dearth of people very soon.
In a few days, he stressed further, the stock market and the property and industrial sectors will all improve a lot.
“So many jobs will be created and I am not talking about years but a week, ten days, two weeks or four weeks in which this will happen.”
“The living standards will be so great that paan walas [tobacco-sellers] and hawkers will offer to pay taxes,” he added.
The minister said he was so sure of his prophecy that he can be challenged if it does not happen.
The host Hamid Mir said Vawda should return after five weeks and if this doesn’t happen should not make any excuses.
“You can butcher me,” Vawda replied.
