Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said the government fully acknowledges the hard work of the labourers and is determined to ensure their welfare and prosperity.
He said this while addressing a luncheon, he hosted in honour of labourers on the International Labour Day at his personal residence in Lahore today.
The Prime Minister also urged businessmen and investors to take care of the development and welfare of their workers as Pakistan cannot make progress without the prosperity of labourers.
He emphasized that Pakistan will make progress if investors and labourers work in unison under a judicious system. He called for creating opportunities to the children of the working class, where they too can become doctors, engineers and excel in politics as well.
Shehbaz Sharif said the government enhanced salaries of the government employees last year, despite financial constraints. He said efforts will also be made to enhance salaries in the upcoming budget.
