SHANGLA
\nFederal Minister for States and Frontier Regions, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Kashmir Affairs, Engineer Amir Muqam, inaugurated a state-of-the-art NADRA Registration Centre in Poran, Shangla here on Saturday.
\nDuring his visit, the minister inspected various sections of the centre, including specialized counters and service desks for women, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and the general public. He expressed satisfaction with the arrangements made for citizens facilitation.
\nIn his address following the inauguration, Engr Muqam said that the NADRA centre was a long-standing demand of the local population, now fulfilled by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government.
\nHe emphasized the government\u2019s commitment to equitable development and public welfare, reiterating that economic growth remains a top priority under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif.
\nAmir Muqam highlighted recent economic and fiscal achievements, including progress in the stock exchange, a notable decline in inflation, price hike and the stabilization of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar.
\nCommenting on national security, he said that the swift and strategic decisions by Pakistan\u2019s political and military leadership had thwarted nefarious designs of India during the \u201cMaraka-e-Haq\/Operation Iron Wall.\u201d
\nHe noted that Pakistan\u2019s measured and firm response to Indian aggression had enhanced the country\u2019s standing in the international community. The nation\u2019s stance on the Kashmir issue, he added, is globally acknowledged as principled and just.
\nCriticizing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Engr Muqam said the party, despite ruling Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for over a decade, had failed to deliver on its lofty hallow promises such as the creation of a \u201cRiyasat-e-Madina,\u201d the construction of five million homes, and provision of 10 million jobs. He claimed that public services, especially education and healthcare, deteriorated under PTI\u2019s governance due to poor planning and mismanagement.
\nHe further alleged that PTI is once again attempting to create political unrest through calls for protest after Ashura in an effort to pressure state institutions into releasing its founder.
\n\u201cThe courts are free and independent,\u201d he said. \u201cAnyone who believes they are innocent should approach the judiciary for relief.\u201d
\nEngr Muqam criticized PTI leadership for abandoning party workers during previous demonstrations, stating that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were disillusioned by PTI\u2019s poor performance and now look to the PML-N for effective governance and employment opportunities similar to those in Punjab.
\nHe also referenced emerging corruption scandals and the recent tragedy in Swat as evidence of poor governance in KP.
\nHighlighting PML-N\u2019s past achievements, Muqam recalled that under then PM Nawaz Sharif\u2019s leadership, Pakistan had ended its IMF program in 2016 and launched a comprehensive motorway network connecting Peshawar to Karachi and Gwadar to Hyderabad.
\nSpeaking on religious values, the minister paid tribute to Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his companions for their martyrdom in the pursuit of justice and truth. He said the Muslim Ummah holds their sacrifice in the highest regard.
\nThe event concluded with attendees chanting slogans in support of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, PML-N President Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, and Federal Minister Engr Amir Muqam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
