Punjab Governor Muhammad Balighur-Rehman said on Friday the youth were most precious asset to the country and the government was making all-out efforts to utilise it for national development to the maximum extent.
Addressing the 3rd convocation of the Government College Women University Faisalabad (GCWUF) here, he said that females were an integral part of society and their involvement in mainstream was imperative for national progress and prosperity.
In this connection, quality education and other facilities were being provided to the female segment, he said and emphasised the girl students to focus on their study and equip them with latest and modern trends so that they could play their dynamic role in national progress and prosperity.
He said that Islam is a religion of love and peace. “Hence we should promote love instead of hate. We should also reject the rumors as these were most injurious to national solidarity and integrity,” he added.
The governor strongly condemned the May-9 mayhem, and said that despite political differences, national heroes were respectful for the entire nation and the patriotic Pakistanis could never dare vandalise and disgrace their monuments at any cost.
He said that anti-state elements were using the social media to spread rumors for their nefarious designs and youths were under their main target. Hence, the youths should investigate the information first and then react on it for greater national interest, he added.
He advised the students to concentrate on their study only and avoid from playing in the hands of anti-state elements because such elements wanted to sabotage the pace of national progress and prosperity. He said the PMLN government, during its previous tenure, focused on establishment of universities and colleges in the country, but it was a pity that this most important segment was badly ignored during four-year government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
He said education and health were prime sectors which played a pivotal role in national development. Therefore, the PMLN government always strived for improvement of these sectors, he added. He also congratulated the passing-out graduates of the GCWUF and advised them to remain respectful and thankful to their parents and teachers because they played a major role in their success.
