Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday urged lawmakers to visit the homeless at government shelters and "share a meal with the people using them".
The premier asserted that this practice will sensitise public representatives to issues faced by the bottom tier Pakistani society.
"In the coming months I will personally monitor effectiveness of our poverty alleviation jihad," the prime minister went on to add in a tweet.
Earlier in December, PM Imran has termed creation of wealth imperative for alleviating poverty from the country, saying businesses must prosper to achieve this objective.
