Punjab was the pioneer in launching Pakistan’s inaugural Chief Minister’s Minority Card Program aimed at assisting minority groups. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif emphasized the importance of minorities by stating, “Minorities are our pride.” Initially, around 50,000 families in Punjab will receive Rs 10,500 every three months, with plans to increase both the amount and the number of beneficiary families to 75,000 in the near future.
