The premier took wrote on Twitter, “For the colonised minds, when desis talk about chickens combating poverty they get mocked but when “walaitis” talk about desi chicken and poverty it’s brilliance.”‎
Earlier, during an address in a ceremony related to government’s 100 days, PM Imran said he will give eggs and chickens to rural women so they can start their own poultry business.
He said that the project has been tested and the government will also ensure to provide injections to them for raising the chickens faster.‎
