LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Monday said the dream of an Islamic welfare state
was being materialized under the leadership of PM Imran Khan.
In a statement, he said that indigent stratum needed special attention of the society and added
that it was a great virtue to look after deserving people.
Previous governments paid no attention towards the rehabilitation of impecunious strata, he regretted
and said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led government had worked for the rehabilitation of
disfranchised segments of the society.
The establishment of shelter homes and almonries was an important step to achieve the goal of
a welfare state and the scope of almonries was being extended to far-flung areas to help the
unattended and needy, he added.
