In an interview with the media, he stated that Pakistani people had expressed full confidence in PTI in the last general election and the present government is trying its best to the put country on the path of prosperity and development.

Answering another question, he stated that the PTI government led by Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan was doing a great job and now the whole world was realising the importance of Pakistan. Even countries like USA and UK were inviting the PM for a visit.

He stated that poor people were deprived of their basic rights in the past, but PTI’s government would ensure the protection of their rights.

Highlighting the basic idea of this housing scheme, he said that it would help materialise dreams of the poor about owning their own house.
