Special Assistant to CM on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday said the PTI government believes in practically serving the masses and has focused its attention on providing basic facilities to people.
The free health related facilities to the people is government’s first priority. The Insaf Medicine Card is a revolutionary program of PTI government providing free of cost medicines to people suffering from various diseases including hepatitis, AIDS and tuberculosis.
Special Assistant to CM Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan was addressing a press conference after her visit to Shelter Home and Tehsil Headquarters Hospital Daska here on Sunday.
Addressing the media, Dr Firdous said that under the leadership of Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, all departments are taking necessary measures for the protection of social and fundamental rights of the people living in the province. She said the government has taken responsibility of protecting the lives of poor, deserving and needy people. The Special Assistant said that health care model similar to KPK was being adopted in Punjab and Chief Minister was taking all possible steps to provide quality health care facilities in rural areas of the province.
Dr Firdous said that those who looted public money mercilessly were misleading the innocent people through rallies, meetings and long marches. PDM’s vision would remain restricted to Jati Umra, she added. She said that those who were labeling assemblies as fake now wanted to take part in by-elections. PDM’s narrative defaming Pakistan and national security agencies would create instability in the country but the people of Pakistan had rejected it, she further said. She said that now the law and constitution of Pakistan would take its course. PDM’s film flopped before it was released in political cinemas, she added.
During the visit, Dr Firdous inaugurated hepatitis clinic and conference hall at THQ hospital Daska and distributed food among the residents of shelter home.
Speaking on the occasion, the Special Assistant said that the government was fully aware of the problems of the poor and fruit and vegetable markets would be digitalized soon to get rid of illicit profiteers. Middlemen are also being made subject to the law, she added. She said that brokers and traders had the right to take legitimate profit but those who exploit the people would be held accountable.
Meanwhile, Assistant to the Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has said that the government considered media as an important pillar of the state and journalists were important part of every democratic government. Punjab government-provided financial assistance to journalists who became the victim of corona pandemic. The operation against all the illegal occupants and land mafias in the journalist colony were the responsibility of the government.
These views were expressed by Special Assistant to CM Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan while addressing a luncheon ceremony organized in the honour of the newly elected office bearers of Lahore Press Club here on Saturday.
Senior journalists Raees Ansari, Hassan Nisar, Sohail Warraich, Saleem Bokhari and others were also present on the occasion.
