Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Sunday that the youth played a key role in the creation of Pakistan and remain the country’s future.
Speaking at a ceremony in Islamabad, he said the government aims to introduce a uniform education system across the country. He added that technology now holds great importance in every field.
Tarar said Pakistan’s future lies in the hands of the younger generation, and the government will try to improve things based on their feedback. He said the government is pushing for digital reforms to reduce human interaction and increase transparency.
He noted that technology has played a major role in governance reforms, especially in institutions like the Federal Board of Revenue, which is responsible for tax collection.
Talking about local government systems, Tarar said meaningful change in governance is not possible unless the lowest tier of local government is fully empowered.

Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has accused the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)–led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government. He accused the government of backing terrorists and facilitating smuggling. He said these activities form part of “organised conspiracies” against the state. According to him, money generated through smuggling in KP is being used to finance terrorism.
Speaking at a press conference in Lahore on Sunday, Tarar said that “baseless rumours” were being spread deliberately. He claimed these rumours were part of a wider scheme. And that PTI’s alleged linkages with anti-state elements were “now out in the open.”
Attaullah Tarar said that while Pakistan was taking effective measures to stop cross-border infiltration from Afghanistan. But PTI leaders had become “informal spokespersons” for Kabul. He criticised Mahmood Achakzai for repeatedly raising pro-Afghanistan narratives in Parliament.
The minister alleged that the vehicles used in the Bisham blast were non-custom paid and that thousands of such vehicles were still operating freely in KP. He said the PTI government failed to resolve the issue for years. He also accused the provincial administration of allowing illegal mining, cutting mountains, and awarding unlawful contracts under official patronage.
Tarar went on to claim that smuggling in KP was taking place under government supervision and that its profits were funding terrorism. He accused the KP chief minister of involvement in drug trafficking and said PTI officials had long provided shelter to militants.
