CM Usman Buzdar for removing economic disparities to alleviate poverty

LAHORE:Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Friday said that economic disparities were needed to be removed to alleviate poverty.

In his message on the International Day for Eradication of Poverty, the CM said poverty alleviation would help in overcoming intolerance in society because the unjustified distribution of resources widened economic gulf at the grassroots.

The chief minister said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government had full understanding of issues faced by the poverty-stricken segments and different steps were taken to improve their quality of life.

He added the rich should also attend to this social issue and lend a helping hand to government’s efforts. This day encourages collective efforts to lessen the difficulties of the indigent strata and the nation should reiterate that the all-out efforts would be made for the welfare of the hapless, concluded the chief minister.
