JHELUM:Advisor to the Prime Minister on Energy and Economy Bilal Azhar Kayani on Tuesday visited the District Jail here, interacted with prisoners and inquired about the facilities being provided to them.
He also took round of various premises and section of the jail and found the available facilities up to the mark and of good standard.
Later taking to media persons, Bilal said a new teacher had been appointed in the Jail to impart education to juvenile prisoners so that they could become useful citizens and play their due role in the society.
Commenting on the prevailing political situation, he said negotiating teams of the government and the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) would hold another around today to evolve consensus on the matters related to the general elections in the country.
He regretted that PTI chairman Imran Khan had been making undue criticism before the dialogue besides giving ultimatum, if the results do not suit him.
Bilal said it was the PTI government that destroyed the national economy and created a lot of problems for the general public and the incumbent government.
He said the upcoming general elections would be held in line with the constitutional provision, expressing confidence that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would emerge victorious including Punjab no matter whenever they were held.
He said a large number of people availed the facility of free flour provided by the government during the holy month of Ramazan across the country, adding the wheat procurement campaign in Jhelum was completed by almost 70 per cent.
