Mian Aslam Iqbal said that we have built not only roads and bridges but also educational institutions for the children of the nation. The health card will be received every citizen of Punjab. The government revolutionized the health sector by providing modern treatment facilities to poor patients through Health Card. He said that welfare schemes are being introduced for the disabled and senior citizens and the Ehsas Ration Card Scheme has been started to provide relief to the poor families.
The provincial minister said that in the last 72 years no one thought of cultivating imported goods in the country, the present government is bringing revolutionary schemes for the promotion of industry and agriculture. Those who took five turns did not think of the welfare of the people.
Rs 300 billion spent on Orange Line Metro train, repayment of loan for the project will increase financial difficulties. The former rulers planned to get kickbacks instead of welfare schemes.
