The prime minister stated that the health cover scheme has begun in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and will soon commence in Punjab & Gilgit Baltistan. "By the end of the yr these 2 projects will move us closer to our goal of making Pak a welfare state," he remarked.

The premier pointed out that year 2020 was a tough year for us and for people across the world because of Covid19 pandemic. "But by the grace of God we fared far better than most.
