ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan is addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Digital Media Development Programme, where he told the youth to “never think any less of themselves” and “always strive to hit big goals”.
The prime minister said opportunities were opening up for the youth after information and technology came into play. “But for that, you need to keep an open mind and set a goal.”
Giving an example from his cricket career, the premier said he had outperformed more talented players than him because he stayed consistent and kept setting goals for himself and urged the youth to do the same.
“Some people pass their exams because they are talented, but students who keep working hard will go ahead of them later,” the prime minister said.
Shedding light on his aspirations, the premier said he wanted the young generation to promote Pakistan’s vision, which is “unique”. The aim, according to the premier, was to establish a self-sufficient country.
“And we are heading towards it […] before we used to bow down before the global superpowers,” the prime minister said. “[but now] we are heading towards making Pakistan like Riyasat-e-Madina [a welfare state].”
Furthermore, he said no country can progress if rule of law and merit do not prevail there. “The biggest issue that the [Opposition] has against our government is that we do not go easy on the powerful.”
