He said the founder of the country Quaid-e-Azam had understood the ideology of Hindu extremists, adding that had Pakistan not been come into being, we would be facing the same hardships as Muslims in India. He said the incumbent government is paying special attention toward promotion of quality education in the country.

The PM said the opposition is seeking NRO through pressure tactics, but he said giving them NRO was tantamount to compromising on his vision. "The day I give them the NRO, I will comprise on my vision. You compromise for your vision, not compromise it," he said. The prime minister added that it would take time to build up institutions which had been destroyed by corruption in Pakistan.
"As we move forward, things will leapfrog as he has human capital and there is no shortage of resources in Pakistan." He said the corruption is destroying institutions in the country.
