NA speaker desires to establish model villages for orphans in provinces

ISLAMABAD, Feb 22 (APP):National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser Friday said it was his foremost desire to establish model welfare villages for orphans and destitute children in each province.“I feel pain and sorrow in my heart to see orphans and destitute children roaming on the roads and wanted to do something for their welfare.”
He expressed these views while addressing the meeting of heads of welfare organizations, donor agencies and philanthropists, who met under his chairmanship at Parliament House.
The meeting was attended by Bait-ul-Mal Chairman Aon Abbas Bappi, Patron-in-Chief Sweet Homes Zamurd Khan and representatives of more than 50 welfare organizations.He said it was necessary to serve humanity in order to enjoy the blessings of Almighty Allah.
The speaker said the prime objective of politicians after getting higher posts was to serve the humanity.
He said he felt great satisfaction to work with welfare organizations. He said there were no political motives behind the establishment of model villages except to gain blessings of Almighty Allah.
He said all the basic amenities will be provided to the needy persons and orphans in the welfare villages, including accommodation, education, medical treatment and other facilities.
He said there would be no involvement of government in establishment of these villages whereas the government’s role will be supervisory. The government will provide only land and basic amenities for establishment of these villages.
Talking about terrorism, the speaker said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially the tribal areas were badly affected in war against terrorism.
He said economy and business were ruined and a large number of people and children were displaced in those war affected areas. He said, “We have to make joint efforts to make Pakistan a prosperous and developed country.”
