PM Shehbaz announces 100,000 free laptops for students

Islamabad: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has announced that 100,000 free laptops will be distributed among talented students across the country on merit.

 He was addressing an event held in Islamabad to mark International Youth Day today [Tuesday].

The Prime Minister said the distribution of these laptops will be across all four provinces, the federal capital Islamabad, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir, and will purely be on merit without any nepotism.

He said these laptops will be apart from the scheme for laptops through interest-based loans.

Referring to Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, the Prime Minister said Pakistan's victory on May 10 against a numerically large and vainglorious enemy has kindled a new vigour in the entire nation.

The Prime Minister urged the youth to build on the spirit of this achievement and work hard to win laurels for the country.
