Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaisar has said that a gift in the form of legislation for special citizens will be given to the nation soon
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of Ayesha Siddique Compassion Homes, Fountain House Farooqabad, here Friday, he said that it was Primary responsibility of the government to provide basic facilities to people, but nothing had been done in this regard in the past.
"I feel spiritual relaxation after meeting special citizens," he said. He said that those were role models for the rest of the world who helped others. "When Prime Minister Imran Khan started collecting charity for Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital, I was studying in a college," he said and added "now after joining politics, I want to do something for Shaukat Khanum Hospital and deprived people of society." He announced working for the Fountain House as an honorary member.
He said that special villages would be made in all districts for special citizens in which all modern facilities would be provided. "I came to meet special citizens though the assembly is in session," he added.
The speaker said that the government was taking hard decisions for uplift of the country. He said that an amount of Rs 362 billion was being allocated for farmers in the upcoming budget and a special committee had been formed to help the assembly in making laws for improvement of farmers.
He said that a historical package would be introduced for farmers in the next budget.
Later, he wished a good future for the Fountain House and its administration.
Earlier, Chairman Management Committee Fountain House Dr Amjad Saqib gave briefing about the Farooqabad Fountain House project.
