Punjab Governor Chaudhary Sarwar on Tuesday said that Pakistan played an exemplary role in the Afghan Peace Process, under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Sarwar, who is on a visit to UK, talking to media in London said that world community should also ensure unconditional support for the crisis-ridden people of Afganistan. Previous governments of Pakistan did not strengthen the institutions but the incumbent government was pursuing a policy of strengthening the institutions and practical steps are being taken for this.
Punjab Governor said that he was glad that around 2 dozen Pakistanis were in Parliament today in British politics and are making efforts for Pakistan. “Afghanistan and other issues are in front of everyone. At present Pakistan is facing many challenges which everyone must work together to overcome. The role Pakistan has played in the Afghan peace process is appreciated by all and there is no doubt that war is not the solution, problems can always be solved through dialogue. Even today, we believe that leaving the Afghan government alone is not in the best interest of the world.” He added.
Sarwar said that practical work was being done for the protection of minorities in Pakistan. “Wherever there is any injustice with minorities, government organizations take strict notice. The protection of life and property of minorities is ensured and in accordance with the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, religious freedom as well as provision of all facilities is being ensured to all minorities living in Pakistan.” He said.
