Abbasi also mentioned that development schemes for Rawalpindi’s schools and colleges had been approved, and similar digital initiatives were underway in the Railways sector.
Speaking on national defense and foreign relations, Abbasi described recent threats from India regarding water stoppage as tantamount to a declaration of war, stating that Pakistan’s armed forces had decisively safeguarded the nation.
