Sheer waste of money. Money should have been spent on IT Education.
Stop these dramas. Such steps will not win you the people’s votes. Learn to live with dignity and let others live on their own terms. Free laptops, scooters, etc. is not the solution. When will you act sensibly?
Jo kisi leader ki mhbt mein vote detay hain unho ny ussi ko vote deni chahay koi or Pakistan ko america kyun na bana dy……btw ye siraf example di hai Pakistan day by day worst Pakistan he bann rahaa aap bas mhbt jaari rakhein imran khan sy😂ye he shaoor ka takaaza hai
People should vote based on policy and results, not personality, regardless of who the leader is. However, laptop is a real game changer for many backward area persons. Growing It skills they can make bread and butter. More ever, if they don’t want to be in this country, they can still move abroad to countries where visa is easy like Philippines with growing demand of IT skills. While applying for visa you might need their PNP Clearance and you can get guidance from onlinepoliceclearanceph.ph. But first get free laptop from government, learn and grow your IT skills and you can move any other country. Giving free laptops have changed lives of many.
