Govt to provide ‘one-window solution’ to overseas Pakistanis: PM

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced the government would launch a one-window solution facility for overseas Pakistanis to solve their issues here.

Addressing a ceremony of launching ‘Ghurbat Mitao Programme’ for poverty alleviation here today, the premier said the government was also increasing spending by Rs 80 billion in underdeveloped areas. “This will increase incrementally; and the next phase will be 120 billion rupees.”

“We are collecting data of the downtrodden from the whole country,” he said.

Khan said the newly-launched ‘Ghurbat Mitao Programme’ was the first steps towards treading the path of humanity. He underlined that it was a crusade to rise for ridding society of poverty to the core. He stated that the government would also extend legal help to the needy under its new programme.

He vowed that all institutions working for betterment of the poor would be unified at a single platform. He said the data of all those institutions would be compiled by December 20 this year.

Imran Khan said data would help gauge the number of underprivileged people living in the country.

He said Bait-ul-Mal would create 10,000 homes for orphan children in four years. “In the next four years, the government will help 3.3 million people.”
