ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Thursday said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led government increased the Employees Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) old-age pension by 62 per cent. In a tweet, the prime minister mentioned that the incumbent government enlarged the EOBI old-age pension by 62 per cent from Rs.5250 to Rs.8500 within a year. “This helps us provide pensioners’ security in their post-retirement years. Much of this contribution comes from improving the Institution itself. Another step towards ‘Madina Ki Riyasat’ (Madinah state),” he said. Earlier, PM Imran Khan has said that India, under Modi, has been moving systematically with its Hindu Supremacist agenda. In a series of tweets on Thursday, he said: “Starting with illegal annexation and continuing siege of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK). Then stripping Indian Muslim in Assam of citizenship, setting up internment camps and now passing Citizenship Amendment Law. All this accompanied by mob lynching of Muslims and other minorities in India.” The prime minister said that the world must realize, as appeasement of the genocidal Supremacist agenda of Nazi Germany eventually led to WWII. Modi’s Hindu Supremacist agenda, accompanied by threats to Pak under a nuclear overhang, will lead to massive bloodshed and far-reaching consequences for the world.
