ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting  Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan Thursday said narrative of Imran Khan has been  vindicated, as majority of Senators rejected the move of opposition to  remove Chairman Senate.

Talking to media outside Parliament House, she said that Senate was  the fountainhead of people's power and majority of Senators believed in  a transparent system.

Dr Firdous said masses were the ultimate power of Prime Minister  Imran Khan, adding Roti (bread) was a  basic requirement of the people  and its price did increase after increase in gas price.

The Prime Minister had now taken notice of the increase in prices  of bread, she said and added Prime Minister Imran Khan was striving  for progress and prosperity of the country.

Dr Firdous said the government had taken various steps to get rid  of the rotten and obsolete system.

She said that government was making efforts to provide all possible  facilities to the poor. She expressed hope that the nation would eventually  achieve economic prosperity.

Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan said that the government would definitely perform  on public issues and deliver maximum relief to the poor.
