SLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday launched an initiative for automation of power of attorney for overseas Pakistanis, saying it would help the diaspora in acquiring legal documents, ARY NEWS reported.
Speaking during the curtain-raising ceremony of the facility, the prime minister said that they decided to launch the initiative in 2019 after an overseas Pakistani shared on PM portal that how they faced difficulty in getting their legal documents.
“From there we got a plan to digitalize the PM portal, making it easy for the overseas Pakistanis to access various facilities via an online platform,” he said while lauding the services of the overseas Pakistanis for the country and terming them as one of the biggest assets of the country.
He claimed that the diaspora’s faith in Pakistan has resulted in a record US$30 billion being sent to the country under their governance.
He said, “We have owned the Pakistanis living abroad, and now that they have the ability to vote, every government must help them to cast their nine million votes.”
Imran Khan also lamented Pakistan’s sluggish acceptance of technology, saying that not adopting it is merely foolish and that it has made life easier elsewhere.
