MULTAN:Noted industrialist and former president Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) Khawaja Jalaluddin Rumi on Wednesday said that the largest relief package Prime Minister Imran Khan last Wednesday announced would help the downtrodden manage their home budgets with a greater degree of ease.
The Rs 120 billion relief plan would have far-reaching impact on the people and would turn out to be a significant step forward in efforts to making Pakistan a welfare state, the eminent business leader said in a statement.
He said, the initiative has enhanced the credibility of the incumbent government as it was based on the data already available that would make the identification of the deserving people easy and relief accessible to them without any trouble.
Rumi identified inflation and unemployment as the two big problems hitting social fabric hard’
”Prime Minister Imran Khan has presented better solutions,”he added.
He appealed philanthropists to come forward and extend aid to the downtrodden pleading that it was the teaching of our Prophet (SAW) to take care of those around us facing difficult times.
Khawaja Jalaluddin Rumi also proposed active role of chambers in mitigating inflation saying that if all the chambers of commerce and industries of the country work together to formulate various programs to help the deprived segments of society, it would help reduce inflation besides minimizing unemployment.
He further stated that the interest-free loans promised by the Prime Minister would also reduce inflation and financial conditions of the common man would improve.
