QUETTA: The Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Qasim Khan Suri, has said that the Prime Minister’s Kamiyab Jawan Programme will help in resolving the issues of joblessness and poverty alleviation in Balochistan.

Speaking at the launching of Kamiyab Jawan Programme at a ceremony in Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering and Management Sciences here on Thursday, he said that the programme would enable youths to obtain loans by applying online and without any recommendation from a politician or a government official.

The minister asked the youths to take benefit from the programme and focus on their future goals.

Mr Suri said that corruption had hollowed the country’s foundations and the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government had launched a ‘nationwide rebuilding process from zero’.”

He said that today public was facing difficulties due to wrong policies of the past. He said that the people should be satisfied as the PTI government was striving to cope with challenges to steer the country out of the difficult situation.

The NA deputy speaker asked the PTI workers to effectively promote the government policies to counter the negative propaganda.

He reiterated that the country was facing problems due to wrong policies of the previous regime, saying that Prime Minister Imran Khan had accepted it as a challenge and he was working hard to put the country back on the track of progress and prosperity. Mr Suri claimed that the government had taken the economy in right direction, which would yield positive results for the people.
