Lauding the role of the working class in the society, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan on Sunday said that workers were an important pillar for national development.
PM Ilyas expressed these views while speaking on the occasion of International Labour Day. “The societies which do not take care of the needs of the labourers can never develop,” the PM said, adding that protecting the rights of workers was the incumbent government’s top priority.
The AJK government, he said, would make sure that the fruits of economic development reach all sections of society, including the working class. Reiterating his commitment to protect rights and dignity of the working class, the PM said “We will ensure that the rights of the workers enshrined in the Azad Kashmir Interim Act 74 become a reality.”—APP
