Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday advised chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam and other opposition parties to dedicate their ‘Azadi March’ to Kashmir cause and join the government’s efforts to represent the public sentiment in true spirit.
Talking to reporters at the Islamabad International Airport, the special assistant said the JUI’F’s card of Tahaffuz-e-Namoos-e-Risalat will not be acceptable to the masses after the prime minister has contested the case of sanctity of Islam and Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) at the world forum effectively. She said Imran Khan has truly represented the suppressed people of Indian-held Kashmir at UNGA that’s why the whole Pakistani nation is proud to welcome their leader on his return.
Dr Firdous said the prime minister foiled the agenda of some religious parties who had tried to play up the religious sentiments for their own gains. She said the prime minister categorically told the world that there was no other Islam but the one preached by Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). She viewed that a true follower of Islam never succumbs to any pressure in his decision making and always keeps the interest of the nation and the region above. “With his speech, the prime minister has bulldozed the wishes of those who were playing political gimmickry in the name of Azadi March through different tactics,” she remarked, adding that the prime minister has thwarted the designs of some politicians through his prudent and futuristic roadmap.
She said the historic welcome by the whole nation to the prime minister is an evidence that he rules the hearts of the people being a true representative of their sentiments and dreams. She said the prime minister will visit the earthquake-hit Mirpur city of Azad Kashmir on Monday. She resolved that the government will not leave the quake victims alone at this time of distress and will ensure their timely rehabilitation.
