Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting, National Heritage and Culture Attaullah Tarar on Thursday stressed the need to provide maximum opportunities to the youth by correcting the priorities in the fields of information technology, agriculture, education, and sports arena.
Addressing the National Youth Convention here he said Pakistan was a lucky country as its 60% population consisted of youth below 30 years of age who could change the destiny of the nation.
“There is a need to correct the direction and economy of the country, bring IT revolution, and promote quality education to the new generation”, the minister said.
He urged the young generation to understand the vision behind the creation of a separate state for Muslims in the subcontinent.
He remarked that Indian atrocities in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and on Indian Muslims across the border had vindicated the stance of Muslims for an independent state.
He said that Kashmiris were still struggling to become part of Pakistan with great resolve, resilience, and determination despite the brutality and oppression of Indian rulers.
He told the participants of the convention that the Quaid-e-Azam was supported by a large number of youths in the Pakistan Movement.
“The youth contributed to the creation of this country, and the youth will change the destiny of this country”, the information minister remarked.
He said that Muslim migration from Makkah to Madinah and from India to Pakistan had a lesson for everyone.
