LAHORE: Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan called on Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar at his office to discuss important matters including the law and order situation. Law Minister Raja Basharat, chief secretary, ACS Home and Principal Secretary to CM were also present.

The participants offered Fateha for the police martyrs and CM Usman Buzdar termed them as a collective pride of the society who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. Their heirs will not be left alone as police martyrs are our heroes, he maintained.

The national interest has been kept supreme by the government and everyone will have to lend a helping hand to make Pakistan a citadel of peace and harmony in the region, added Usman Buzdar. Pakistan will move forward by promoting unity and brotherhood; he affirmed and added that matters are resolved by following the principles of prudence, statesmanship and maturity. Regrettably, the opposition tried to politicize the national interest and its political point-scoring is condemnable. In fact, it adopted an improper attitude while acting recklessly, the CM added.
