Multan:Economic justice should be provided to everyone regardless of their background, and everyone should have equal access to the resources necessary for a decent life.

He mentioned that their social awareness campaign was going on to help advance their society and fos

He urged government to allocate a larger budget for healthcare, provide better social protection programmes for needy families, and implement effective legislation to protect common citizens from the impact of climate change.
