NOWSHERA VIRKAN: Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has directed all departments to ensure the implementation of the 10 percent employment quota for women.
Addressing the ground-breaking ceremony of Rs 82.311 million Nowshera Virkan inter-change project on Sunday, he said the PPP government would leave no stone unturned to empower the masses in all walks of life.
Gilani said the wish of Benazir Bhutto had been realised with the restoration of democracy in the country and “we have been successful to some extent to provide solace to her departed soul through such initiatives”.
He said the people were the basis of power under the vision of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto.
“The country will prosper only if the people flourish in their enterprises,” he said. Gilani said such a huge gathering and enthusiasm of the people had strengthened his belief that the blood of the martyred leadership would not go to waste.
The prime minister said a land lord, an affluent or a poor man each had one vote, and the poor would bring a revolution through their votes. Recalling the PPP’s services for the country, he said, “The PPP has given the country a constitution and the 18th Amendment and strengthened institutions, including parliament and the judiciary.” Enumerating pro-people initiatives of the PPP government, Gilani said the government had lifted the ban from student, as well as labour unions in the country, and given 50 percent raise in the salaries.
About the government’s steps to strengthen the federation, he said the “PPP has given the NFC Award to the nation, empowered the people of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), as well as women in the country”. He said the PPP government had started several schemes, including the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) to end the deprivation among the less privileged masses of the country.
“The PPP government is considering introducing health-insurance and provide free electricity and gas units to the poor strata of society,” he added.
The prime minister said technical education training would be imparted to the poor masses in order to enable them to earn their livelihood through skill learning. “PPP government will soon succeed in launching three and five marla residential schemes for the poor in the country,” the premier added.
Gilani directed the Minister for Water and Power Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to upgrade the Nowshehra Virkan grid-station. He also directed to develop a playground for the youth of the area. Gilani also inaugurated a natural gas project in the town. app
