He said that they were moving forward with the “goal of empowering people at the lowest level”, both politically and administratively. He added that in the process of national development, special attention is being paid to the welfare of the poor segments of the society. “From health cards to cheap ration schemes, the government is spending extraordinary resources on public welfare in the style of a welfare state,” he further said. PM Imran said that workers should participate in the process of disseminating the fruits of PTI government’s welfare schemes to the people. He also urged PTI’s organisational leaders to organise themselves at all levels and prepare to face future political challenges.
