The Speaker of the National Assembly, Asad Qaiser, said on Saturday that Rs132 million is being distributed amongst 11,000 deserving families of the district of Swabi under the Ehsas Programme.

Talking to media here after visiting the Ehsas Kifalat Centre, he said Rs12,000 would be paid to each needy family under the Ehsas Programme initiative that is being appreciated and acknowledged globally.

He said that in a very short span of time the federal government successfully launched the Ehsas Kifalat program in a very transparent manner.

He said the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is also distributing Rs6,000 assistance package among each deserving family of the province.

Referring to members of the Tablighi Jamaat and the Zaireen, he said all possible assistance is being provided to them, and within one week all the members of the Tablighi Jamaat across the country would be sent back to their respective areas.

He said that by Friday 1,239 members of the Tablighi Jammat who had been stranded in different areas of the country safely returned to their areas, adding arrangements are being made to bring home all the Pakistanis including members of the Tablighi Jamaat stranded in different countries.

He said the government respects members of the Tablighi Jamaat and overseas Pakistanis and would not leave them alone in this hour of tragedy.

The Speaker said that he had constituted a committee of the National Assembly under the chairmanship of Federal Minister Shehryar Afridi to contact all the chief ministers to address the issue of stranded Pakistanis.
