We are public servants instead of rulers, says CM.

LAHORE -- Provincial Minister Bait ul Mal and Social Welfare, Syed Yawar Abbas Bukhari called on Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar at his office on Friday.

Matters of mutual interest and the initiatives taken for the welfare of less privileged segments of the society were discussed during the meeting. Syed Yawar Abbas also apprised the Chief Minister about the performance of his department.

Usman Buzdar said that welfare of destitute and disenfranchised strata is the responsibility of the government and effective measures have been taken for bringing the less privileged segment of the society in the mainstream.

Scope of the shelter homes and almonries are being further expanded. Destitute and indigents were intentionally kept away from the benefits of development and progress during the previous regimes.

He said that no former government had paid attention to the welfare of the less privileged segment of the society and their demand and requirements were badly ignored.

The incumbent government under the leadership of PM Imran Khan has supported the weak segment of the society. Time has come to award equal rights to the deprived segment of society besides fulfilling their genuine demands.

He said that free medical treatment is being provided to the acid victims by the government for the first time in the history of the country. Interest-free loans have been arranged for their self-employment and skill development. The present government came into power for serving the people. New projects of public welfare will be launched.
