Naya Pakistan Housing Project to provide shelter to homeless people: Firdous

LAHORE, May 04 (APP):Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Saturday said homeless people would get shelter under the Naya Pakistan Housing Project.
Prime Minister Imran Khan wanted to uplift the oppressed segments of society and the ground breaking ceremony of the first phase of Naya Pakistan Housing Project by him in Renala Khurd was a step towards that goal, she said here while talking to newsmen.
To a question, Dr Firdous said Maryam Nawaz had been named as vice president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, which was a violation of law, according to which a convict could not hold a party office.
She said Pakistan and corruption could not run together. The opposition should play a positive role in the parliament, she added.
Dr Firdous said Nawaz’s application for extension in his bail was the biggest u-turn of the PML-N.
To another query, she said petroleum prices in the country had increased due their rise in the international market.
Later in a Twitter message, Dr Firdous said those who had erected their palaces by making the people poor of the poorest, were now thinking of the poor’s (Roti) livelihood.
Talking about pains of the poor, while enjoying a luxurious life in London, was nothing but mockery and ridiculous joke with the people, she added.
