BEIJING: Prime Minister Imran Khan has performed balloting of 1,008 flats and 500 houses in suburbs of Islamabad for the poor on low mortgage in a bid to uplift the weaker segments of society.
This is the first time in 74 years since Pakistan’s independence that the government has made great efforts to solve the housing problem for the poor. This fully reflects the idea of Imran Khan’s ruling for the people, and it is also the specific action of the prime minister to put his election promise into practice.
This will surely win the support of the broad masses of the people, Cheng Xizhong, Visiting Professor at Southwest University of Political Science and Law and Senior Fellow of the Charhar Institute said on Friday.
He said, the housing project is in line with the vision of facilitating the lower class who are facing hardship in owning houses, particularly in urban areas. Through economic emancipation and provision of basic necessities of life, the weaker segments of the society can see the hope of development and a better life.
Of course, the low-cost housing scheme initiated by the Imran Khan administration has received strong cooperation from social organizations such as the Workers Welfare Fund and financial institutions.
Without their active participation, the project could not be accomplished.
This fully demonstrates that the government decision-making should be based on the needs of the people, win the support of the society and be in line with the fundamental interests of the nation. – Agencies
