Federal Minister for States and Frontier Regions, Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan, Engineer Amir Muqam says a handful of propagandists through fake and misleading news on social media are trying to misguide the youth for their vested interests.

Addressing a function at Pakistan Scouts Cadet College Batrasi, he said necessary steps are being taken to foil their nefarious designs.

He advised students to reject all those elements who were spreading lies to pollute young minds.

The Minister said the country was confronted with various challenges including terrorism that would be addressed through collective efforts. 

Amir Muqam said due to effective monetary and economic policies of the government, the price hike came to a single digit and the stock exchange moved to an upward trajectory.
