He was addressing a public gathering here after inaugurating Cadet College Okara on Sunday.
The Prime Minister said that education and provision of rights to masses are the basics of PPP manifesto. He added that all possible steps would be taken to give quality education to the citizens.

Recalling the steps taken for the farmers' community, Gilani said that PPP government gave a number of facilities to them to improve their lives. He directed the ministry of food and agriculture to adopt sufficient measures for purchasing wheat crop from the farmers across the country so that their problems in this regard could be redressed.
Referring to the issue of Military Farms and tenants, Gilani announced to form a committee comprising officials of Defence Ministry and other stakeholders, which would work for giving proprietary rights of land to the tenants. He also said that ministries of finance and industries would initiate working to further facilitate the industrialists at Okara Industrial Zone.
