Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Friday denied reports that the incumbent government had closed the Ehsaas program and the panagah shelters.
The PML-N spokesperson stated that in his first address to the National Assembly after being elected, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had made it clear that public service projects would continue.
“Lies are being spread by those who are accustomed to lying from the prime minister's chair, the media is also requested to refrain from giving space to such baseless reports,” she stated.
Aurangzeb added that the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) will be further expanded as the premier has decided to make BISP a source of education for children. “No program has been stopped, every project for the welfare of the people will be further improved”, she added.
The PML-N spokesperson furthered that the health card would continue to function and efforts were being made to improve upon its service.
