Speaker Punjab Assembly Rana Muhammad Iqbal Khan has said that since country's independence a number of forces started intriguing against it. He said that due to these conspiracies, in 1971 the country was split into two parts and no lesson had been learnt from mistakes of the past.
However, he showed optimism that conspirators would reach their logical conclusion and would be defeated. This he averred in the Annual Dealers Convention 2008 of Metro Group of Companies at a local hotel on Sunday.
He said that the government in order to consolidate economy of the country should evolve people friendly policies.

Referring to agricultural situation in the country, Punjab Assembly Speaker pointed that due to faulty policies of the previous government the country was importing food items. He said it was tragic that a country, which used to feed the entire region, was importing wheat.
He asked the government to reduce its expenses, give subsidy to consumers; endeavour to reduce its leaning on foreign loans. He with a view to give respite to farmers asked the government to provide fertilisers at cheaper rates to them. He further demanded subsidy on diesel to be given to farmers.
