Renowned businessman and respected social figure Irshad Ahmed Bukhari, belonging to Karachi’s prominent business community, has expressed full confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and praised the performance of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government for steering Pakistan toward economic stability and growth.
Speaking at a recent gathering attended by political and social personalities, Irshad Ahmed Bukhari said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan is rapidly climbing the ladder of economic development. He remarked that despite immense national and international challenges, the current government has shown seriousness, commitment, and practical governance that is restoring confidence among investors, overseas Pakistanis, and the business community.
Bukhari stated that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has always been known for his administrative excellence, tireless work ethic, and commitment to public welfare. According to him, the prime minister’s focus on economic revival, youth empowerment, infrastructure development, and investor confidence reflects the true spirit of responsible leadership.
He also paid glowing tribute to former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, calling him the architect of modern Pakistan’s development journey. He said Nawaz Sharif’s political vision laid the foundation for major national projects, economic reforms, and institutional strengthening, and that his leadership continues to inspire millions of Pakistanis who believe in progress, democracy, and stability.
Irshad Ahmed Bukhari especially praised Rana Mashhood Ahmad, Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme, for his energetic and result-oriented role in implementing the broader vision of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He said Rana Mashhood has consistently worked for youth empowerment, skill development, employment generation, and national engagement.
He added that Rana Mashhood Ahmad is not merely holding an office but actively transforming the vision of youth inclusion into practical results. “He is playing an outstanding role in connecting young Pakistanis with opportunities and hope. His work reflects dedication, sincerity, and political maturity,” Bukhari said.
Commenting on the recent appointment of Niaz Lashari as Governor Sindh, Irshad Ahmed Bukhari described it as one of the best decisions made by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He said this decision has brought renewed energy and satisfaction among PML-N workers in Sindh, especially those who had long felt politically neglected and deprived.
He noted that party workers across Sindh have welcomed this appointment with great enthusiasm because it sends a strong message of recognition, trust, and inclusion. According to him, Governor Niaz Lashari possesses the political wisdom, administrative understanding, and public connection needed to serve the people of Sindh effectively.
Bukhari expressed confidence that Governor Niaz Lashari will not only strengthen the party structure in Sindh but will also work for the welfare of the province’s people without discrimination. He said the governor’s appointment is expected to improve coordination between the federal government and Sindh while addressing the concerns of ordinary citizens.
As a businessman himself, Irshad Ahmed Bukhari is widely recognized for his professional integrity, strong business acumen, and deep understanding of economic affairs. Over the years, he has earned respect within Karachi’s commercial circles for his leadership, balanced judgment, and commitment to ethical business practices.
Colleagues and associates describe him as a man of vision who understands both the challenges and opportunities facing Pakistan’s economy. His consistent support for economic reform, entrepreneurship, and public-private cooperation reflects his broader concern for national progress rather than personal interest alone.
Bukhari emphasized that Pakistan’s future depends on political stability, economic continuity, and trust between leadership and institutions. He urged the business community to support policies that strengthen national confidence and contribute positively toward sustainable development.
He concluded by saying that Pakistan today needs unity, seriousness, and visionary leadership more than ever before, and he believes that under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, supported by committed individuals like Rana Mashhood Ahmad and Governor Niaz Lashari, the country is moving in the right direction.
“The business community stands with leadership that delivers, works honestly, and puts Pakistan first,” he said. “This is the time to strengthen institutions, empower youth, and restore national confidence for a stronger and brighter Pakistan.”
