ISLAMABAD: The general election on February 8 would bring political stability in the country, Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar said on Friday.<\/p>\n
The prime minister, in an interview with a private television channel, said after the elections, the new government would work to achieve political and economic stability.<\/p>\n
He said his government successfully achieved most of the targets set by it and a white paper would be issued to enlist those successes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest challenges were economic issues,\u201d he said, adding that the next government would have to work with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and bring reforms in the taxation system to take the economy forward.<\/p>\n
He said the government carried forward the process of privatisation of state-owned entities, including PIA. The process of privatisation was almost complete, he added.<\/p>\n
He said the social media would be regulated and some people would have to stop the wrong use of the medium.<\/p>\n
The previous governments worked to control negative aspects of the social media and in future a \u201cnational firewall\u201d through use of technology would be created to subdue the negative tendencies, he noted.<\/p>\n
He said May 9 was an attack on the concept of the State of Pakistan and from the very start he was very critical of the elements involved in the incidents.<\/p>\n
However, the whole of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) could not be kept away from Pakistani politics, he said, adding that only some specific people of the party were involved in the incidents of May 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n
