Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has expressed the resolve of the government to weed out culture of nepotism for good and introduce merit-based system in the country.
Speaking at a function held here in connection with Prime Minister's Youth Business Loans Friday, the Prime Minister deplored that disadvantaged segments of the society have remained ignored ever since independence and said it is duty of the government to give everyone his right.
He said decisions should be made on merit and without consideration of caste‚ creed‚ parochialism or faith.
He said Youth Business Loans are being given applicants purely on merit and even the Prime Minister has no discretion in the grant of loans.
The prime minister further said banks too have no discretion and they will have to pen down reasons while accepting or rejecting applications for loans.
