LAHORE: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday said the government was focusing on equitable distribution of resources to rich and poor by ensuring basic amenities of life for all.
“The notion of ‘elite capture’ and the prevailing mindset that Pakistan belongs to a particular class only is regrettable,” he said in his address at the launch of Punjab Peri-Urban Housing project for low-income groups.
Imran Khan said no nation could prosper with an island of rich and a big sea of poor, and regretted that during last 74 years, only a particular elite ruled the country.
Turning his guns towards the opposition, the prime minister said a “union” has been formed in the name of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) who are trying to escape accountability and get NRO.
