Spokesman Report

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said he finds it surprising the Opposition is fearful of a machine, referring to the electronic voting machine the government aims to introduce prior to the next general elections so voting can take place transparently. He said that the incumbent government has built more roads than the previous PML-N regime and even at a lower cost despite a hike in inflation. His remarks came during the launch ceremony of the LillaJhelum Dual Carriageway, which was inaugurated with the touch of a button on a large display screen by the premier. I was reflecting on the fact that we used technology and inaugurated this project with the touch of a hand, and that technology has come so far. I am surprised to see the Opposition [resist technology], insisting that voting take place traditionally, the prime minister said. He said the whole world” now uses technology for voting so it can be a better, more transparent exercise. I am surprised the opposition has a problem with it; they are afraid of a machine or I don’t know of what, PM Imran Khan said. Prime Minister Khan said that the government is aimed at building better and cost effective road infrastructure to spur economic activities in the country. The prime minister said extending Sialkkot-Kharian Motorway up to Rawalpindi would be a game changer infrastructure project that would ensure efficient transportation of goods and services in the region. Earlier Imran Khan was briefed that NHA is not only building more new roads but is also working hard to ensure best quality and cheaper rates. He was informed that 27 new road projects of 1,753 kilometers have been initiated by the government. It is worth-mentioning to note that a 4-lane road is being constructed at a cost of 170 million rupees per Kilometer as compared to 370 million rupees per Kilometer in the previous government s tenure.
