ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Overseas Pakistanis and Human Development Zulfiqar Bukhari on Saturday appealed to the overseas Pakistanis to stage protests outside Indian Consulates on August 15 – India’s Independence Day – wherever they are across the world.

Zulfi Bukhari held a press conference along with Special Assistant for National Health Services Dr Zafar Mirza and announced to spend August 14 in solidarity with the Kashmiris.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders said that the government has decided to issue health card in 43 districts, and to provide free medical facilities to all citizens.

Dr Zafar Mirza told that membership of the health scheme can be acquired by paying premium, and the health card will cover the treatment of all diseases.
