ISLAMABAD:Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Sajid Hussain Turi on Friday emphasized the vital responsibility of every patriotic Pakistani to remember the sacrifices made by the martyrs and their families.
Delivering a significant message on Pakistan Martyrs’ Day, he urged the nation to hold their memory close to their hearts, while expressing deep sadness and distress over the bloodshed and desecration of sacred monuments that occurred on May 9-10.
The Minister said these acts of humiliation and destruction are truly heartbreaking. He acknowledged that the martyrs gave their lives to protect the integrity and survival of our nation, silencing the hateful propaganda of our enemies.
He mentioned revered leaders such as Quaid-e-Azam, Allama Iqbal, and the defenders of our borders, who sacrificed their lives for the country. He said Pakistan was achieved through countless sacrifices and tireless efforts. Numerous young men laid down their lives to safeguard it. However, our eternal enemy, India, celebrated May 9-10 events and propagated malicious narratives against Pakistan.
The Minister said that burning and vandalization of historical buildings like Jinnah House, Corps Commander House Lahore, and Radio Pakistan in Peshawar were condemned. Similarly, the disturbances that occurred at military and civilian sites in other cities of Pakistan were deemed completely unacceptable.
He said our brave army and other law enforcement agencies foiled this enemy plot. He said Pakistan People’s Party, as a democratic party, aims to promote democratic thinking and urges the public not to be deceived by those working against the state.
