\nFormer Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Haji Ghulam Ali on Monday said that a chief minister, being the representative of millions of people, must be accorded due protocol during inter-provincial visits, stressing that respect for democratic mandates is essential to promote political harmony and national unity.
\nReferring to the recent visit of Chief Minister Sohail Afridi to Punjab, he said such visits should be welcomed warmly to promote inter-provincial harmony and eliminate political bitterness. He added that removing hatred from politics was the joint responsibility of all provincial governments.
\nHe expressed these views while talking to the media after congratulating the newly elected President of the Peshawar Press Club, M. Riaz, and other members of the newly elected cabinet.
\nOn the occasion, the former governor garlanded President M. Riaz, Vice President Zia-ul-Haq, General Secretary Alamgir Khan, Finance Secretary Irshad Maidani, Joint Secretary Gulzar Khan, and members of the governing body, congratulating them on their success.
\nHaji Ghulam Ali said the Peshawar Press Club has always played a historic role in resolving journalists\u2019 issues and working for their welfare. He expressed hope that the newly elected president and cabinet would continue this tradition by strengthening relations between the journalist community, political parties, and institutions, and by using their abilities to address journalists\u2019 problems while upholding truth and professionalism.
\nThe former governor said Pakistan could not afford politics of hatred under any circumstances.
\nResponding to a question, he emphasized that state institutions should not be dragged into political disputes, adding that it was the collective responsibility of all stakeholders to safeguard their dignity in order to maintain a positive image of the country internationally.
\nHe further said that Pakistan must strengthen relations and trade with brotherly Islamic countries, particularly Afghanistan, in the interest of regional stability and economic growth. \u201cWars are fought with enemies, and Pakistan and Afghanistan cannot be enemies of each other,\u201d he remarked, urging both countries to remove misunderstandings through dialogue.
\nHe said Afghanistan should also acknowledge Pakistan\u2019s sacrifices over the past five decades and stressed that unity and constructive engagement were essential so that both nations could move forward with dignity in the eyes of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
