CM pledges financial support for Pakistan Sweet Home

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said it was a dream of the late PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto to make the underprivileged segment of society, particularly the poor and orphan children, safe from social evils by providing them shelter, environment and better education so as to ensure an enlightened future of Pakistan. 

Today her dream seemed to have been materialised by her jiyala worker, Zamruad Khan, he said while addressing a programme organised by Pakistan Sweet Home on the Northern Bypass on Thursday.

He said former president Asif Zardrai had appointed Zamurad Khan, a brave party worker and a true social worker, as chairman of Pakistan Baitul Maal.  “He realised the dream of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and served poor children to the best of his abilities. This service further inculcated the spirit of service to the orphan children in him [Zamurd Khan] and he established Sweet Home and now its branches are spread all over Pakistan.”

Shah said that the Swat operation was an important phase in the history of Pakistan in which a large number of children turned homeless, orphans and lost their parents. That, he said, was the turning point in the life of Zamurd Khan and he started this noble work with one orphan child and now he had a large number of children.

Earlier, when the chief minister reached the Sweet Home, he was received by its Patron–in-Chief Zamurd Khan and a child presented him with a bouquet of flowers.

Khan took him around his sweet home and briefed him about the project. On the occasion, a beautiful programme was organised in which children presented him with a guard of honour like professional soldiers, presented tableaus and demonstrated their karate skills.

The chief minister
appreciated them and announced a dispensary and an ambulance for the Sweet Home and assured Khan his government’s generous support.

He said he was told that the K-Electric was charging high rates in their power bills, and he assured the Sweet Home of taking up the issue with the power utility.

He was accompanied by Education Minister Jam Mehtab Dahar, Special Assistant on Socail Welfare Shamim Mumtaz and others.
