�Zulfikar Bukhari interacted with the workers and�reviewed their accommodation, dining and prayers facilities to get an overall picture of the provisions being offered to the laborers by their employers.
Addressing the workers, he said "You will soon feel a sense of ownership. The government is standing behind you and you have to stand up for your country and serve it in whatever capacity you can".� Zulfikar Bukhari emphasized the need to use legal channels for sending money to their country instead of "Hundi System".
