The premier asserted that this practice will sensitise public representatives to issues faced by the bottom tier Pakistani society.
“In the coming months I will personally monitor effectiveness of our poverty alleviation jihad,” the prime minister went on to add in a tweet.
Our prov & fed elected reps must visit Panah Gahs in their areas & share a meal with the people using them. This will sensitise them to issues faced by the bottom tier of our society. In the coming months I will personally monitor effectiveness of our poverty alleviation jihad
