Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has inquired that if the international community and the so-called torch-bearers of the modern civilization are awaiting the genocide of the Kashmiris? He said the curfew, which is continuously going on for the last three weeks, could result in human tragedy. He said that depriving the Kashmiris of food, medicines and other necessities of life is fast exposing the Indian barbarity. Will the policy of cruelty and the barbarity promote peace or encourage violence; he inquired and said that the Kashmiris should not be instigated to violence.
The chief minister said that Narendra Modi has become the worst fanatic who has lost the Kashmir war. The myopic approach of Narendra Modi will result in the balkanization of India, he asserted. The chief minister observed that India led by Modi is no less than a living hell for the religious minorities. He regretted that India has turned the serene valley of Kashmir into hell through the barrage of guns and artillery. The Kashmiris are bravely fighting their freedom movement and the core issue of Kashmir has emerged as an international issue which cannot be ignored by the international community, he added.
Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has given approval to hold Sikh conventions in connection with the 550th birthday anniversary of the founder of Sikhism Baba Guru Nanak. The first sitting will be held at Governor’s House Lahore while the next huddle will be arranged in Nankana Sahib district and Sikh community, from across the world will attend it. Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has directed to make best arrangements adding that every possible facility will be provided to the Sikh visitors.
He said that Rs.15 crore has been spent on repair and maintenance of roads in Nankana Sahib and this would facilitate the Sikh pilgrims visiting their holy place. He maintained that foundation stone of Baba Guru Nanak University in Nankana Sahib is a self-evident proof of religious tolerance and harmony as the government of Pakistan is providing all sorts of facilities to the Sikhs and other religious minorities.
In the meanwhile the Punjab government has decided to devise the latest monitoring system for early solution of public complaints and the Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has given approval to it. He said that the latest monitoring system will be launched from Lahore and the performance of PHA, LWMC, LDA and WASA will be monitored initially. This system will be extended to other cities and departments in phases and data regarding departmental performance and redressal of public complaints will be collected.
The chief minister also directed the urban unit to develop the mobile application and said the new system should be innovative and unique and effective mechanism should be designed to implement it.
He hoped the collected data will be helpful in determining the future roadmap as well as policy formulation besides facilitating the people through e-service delivery. We intend to move towards smart cities where citizens would be provided with the facilities which are the need of the hour, he added.
