London: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said efforts to place hurdles in the path of Pakistan's development have failed, Geo News reported.

Addressing mediapersons after attending the Pak-Britain Energy Conference here, Sharif said, "These efforts were made to derail Pakistan, not finish our government."

Pakistan's capital city has been witnessing anti-government protest for over three months by Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to press for the main demand of Sharif's resignation over rigging of general elections.

Another protest, started on the same day Aug 14, by Tahirul Qadri-led Pakistan Awami Tehreek was wrapped up recently after 70 days.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Information and Broadcasting Minister Pervaiz Rashid said that Sharif's visit to China, Germany and Britain will help attract investment in Pakistan, particularly in the energy sector.
