Laptop Showbaz ka, Vote Imran ka.

There's a good reason for not voting for Shahbaz. When Shahbaz started the laptop scheme, Dell offered a deal to the government of Pakistan in which Dell will be the only company to supply the laptops for this scheme and these laptops would be assembled in Pakistan; however, Shahbaz rejected this and instead chose to import laptops which increased our import bill and we lost an opportunity to provide jobs to our countrymen.

Have you listened to the White Paper presentation today, The speaker emphasised about knowledge input (no consumption led, foreign assistance models) led economy. He also talks about woman's empowerment.
He said that even a bird flock disperses over a slight noise/threat. Similarly, the investors leave in groups, if there is a slight threat to stability.

We have Assembled in Pakistan economy (import dependent) and not Made in Pakistan.
