ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said we have to go ahead by learning lesson from past mistakes. "Thar coal is one among largest coal projects in world. Reko diq project is of special importance in history of country. We have to move forward by learning lesson from past mistakes. We have to convert speeches into action. We have to work for development of country. War no more remains an option. Pakistan is nuclear power. But this power is not meant to use against any other. Our neighbors should understand to live with peace. Meaningful talks should be held for addressing problems, he said this while addressing inaugural session of 'Pakistan Minerals Summit' here. NAB kept on subjecting people to political victimisation, he held.

He remarked society has divided unfortunately. Poison has been poured into minds of people. Can any work be done for development of country in this situation, he questioned. Its answer is 'No', he added.

We did not focus on precious wealth of our country in last 75 years. Were we hesitant due to some cartel or political reason. He underlined we should work for public interest and against poverty.

Today is propitious day, he said adding nature has bestowed natural resources worth trillion dollars on Pakistan. We did not pay attention to natural wealth during last 75 years.

We did injustice to Pakistan during last 75 years, he observed. We did injustice with its poor people and we did not pay their right to them.
