Addressing a ceremony at Lahore Fort, the prime minister had said that the rulers in past “cared about nothing” and tourism industry in Pakistan was in tatters. “No action was taken to preserve the historical and cultural heritage that we have. We could have paid off foreign debt with tourism alone,” he had said.
