KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said the Sindh government made history by building one million homes in three years.
Addressing a ceremony in Karachi marking the completion of homes for Sindh’s flood victims, Bilawal said the entire world is currently going through an economic crisis.
He said that due to record inflation, people are looking to governments to see who stands with them in difficult times. People do not want the politics of hate and division, but solutions to their economic problems.
The PPP chairman said the Sindh government has made history by fulfilling its promises to flood victims, adding that the responsibilities of political parties have grown in the current era of economic crisis, educational challenges and unemployment.
He said these one million homes are not just buildings, as their owners have also been given land rights. “We made the women of these households landowners.
Those who had no home of their own were given newly built houses along with ownership of the land,” he said, calling it the largest land transfer project since 1970.
Bilawal said people do not look to their governments for divisive politics or to be pitted against one another, but hope for easier lives and solutions to their problems.
He said the Sindh government’s housing and free healthcare projects are aimed at providing relief to the public.
He said it is the responsibility of governments to provide facilities to the people and ensure their economic security in difficult times.
After building one million homes, the Sindh government is also committed to achieving its target of two million homes, he added.
