PBM's managing director Aon Abbas Buppi said in a statement issued on Twitter, that "the transgenders living in Pakistan have as much equal rights on Bait-ul-Maal, as any citizen of Pakistan. We can add them to the stream of national development by giving them equal economic, political and social rights. Today, Faisal Qureshi has been employed as an assistant in the Bait-ul-Maal."
پاکستان میں بسنے والے Transgenders کا بھی .@PakBaitulMal پر اتنا ہی حق ہے جتنا کسی اور پاکستانی شہری کا۔ انہیں معاشی، سیاسی اور سماجی حقوق فراہم کرنے سے ہی ہم انہیں ملکی ترقی کے دھارے میں شامل کرسکتے ہیں۔اج فیصل قریشی کو پاکستان بیت المال میں بطور Assistant بھرتی کیا گیا ہے۔ https://t.co/0astKQrgqt
