ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan handed over the keys of the houses and flats among the working class here on Thursday.
The prime minister also inspected the houses and planted trees on the occasion.
“We have to uplift the backward class,” he said. We are not doing any favour but this is the right of the workers.
He said that it was impossible to build houses for government employees working in cities. The workers lived in a rented house. Now the rent will go in installments and the house will become their property.
Even Class-6 government employees cannot build houses in cities. We would not have been able to do this without the involvement of banks, the prime minister added.
He said that it took two years for the relevant law to be cleared by the court, but the work was delayed due to the pending law in the court.
