LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said that factual freedom was meaningless in the absence of economic freedom as no one could command economically strong nations. The chief minister expressed these views while addressing the inauguration ceremony of the book “Governing the Ungovernable” by former Governor of State Bank Dr Ishrat Hussain. Shehbaz said that he was honoured to participate in the book launching ceremony and it was a matter of immense pleasure for him. The chief minister said it was evident that economically strong nations were respected in the world while weak nations always received dictation. Standard human resource was necessary to achieve development goals and objectives could be achieved only through resource development, effective planning and its implementation.
