Lahore January 12, 2021 LAHORE:Minister for Industries and Trade Mian Aslam Iqbal has regretted that the ruling elite enjoyed the fruits of development in the past but the incumbent government has initiated public-friendly initiatives like Ehsas Programme, Kamyab Jawan Programme, Sehat Card Scheme, shelter homes and almonries for the masses. According to a handout issued here, the minister expressed these views while talking to the party workers at his office here on Monday. The minister said that the Punjab Rozgar Programme is the mega initiative of providing soft loans for starting a small scale business and the needy could get loans of different categories from one lakh rupees to 10 million. An increase in exports and economic stability are major macroeconomic achievements of the PTI, he said. It is, however, regrettable that the steady economic recovery and holistic industrialisation have panicked the opposition and the PDM leadership is worried about its bleak political future, he added.
