SWABI -- Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaisar on Friday said that the government would utilize all available resources to make country, a social welfare state on the pattern of 'Riyasat Madina'.

He said that those who were criticizing Prime Minister should tell what services they did for the cause of Muslims when they were in power.

The major national entities like PIA, Steel Mill, SNGPL and Wapda were running in losses when PTI took over reign of power in 2018.

He said that now major reforms were being introduced...
