Healthy entertainment a must : Pervaiz Rashid

LAHORE: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Pervaiz Rashid Saturday said that healthy entertainment was necessary for the growth of positive environment in the society.
Talking to reporters,  while inaugurating the Creative Village at University of Lahore, he said.  that the PML (N) government was committed to resolve all the major issues of the country on emergency basis.
Replying to a question, Rashid said that energy crisis was the result of mismanagement during the previous governments. He said the government had to increase the cost of electricity because the state exchequer was already paying subsidy at Rs 6 per unit and the economy was not in a position to sustain more burden.
He said that PML (N) government was never given a chance to complete their tenure. Had they been given the opportunity, the country's economy would have been in a healthier condition, he added. The minister said that a strong communication system was the key to development and the government had the resolve to strengthen it throughout the country. –APP
