Provincial Minister for Local Government Zeeshan Rafiq has said that Hafiz Muhammad Abu Bakr has brought laurels to the country and the nation by winning an international competition of “Husn-e-Qirat” in Iran.
He expressed the views at the International “Mahfil Husn-e-Qirat and Naat” organized at the main Eid Gah Daska here today. He said, “There is no dearth of talent in Pakistan. The Punjab government is committed to providing all possible resources to the youth to express their hidden talent and it is actively encouraging talented students who are doing outstanding work in different fields of life.”
He welcomed national and international reciters participating in the “Mahfil Husn-e-Qirat and Naat” on their arrival and distributed shields.
The provincial minister had a special meeting with Hafiz Muhammad Abu Bakr, the winner of the international competition of “Husn-e-Qirat” in Iran and congratulated him on winning the competition. Hafiz Muhammad Abu Bakr had the honour of reciting and received great applause from the audience.
At the end of the ceremony, a special prayer was offered for the security and stability of the country. On the other hand Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari has said that opponents should compete with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on the basis of performance instead of using inappropriate language.
She said this while reacting to a statement of Barrister Saif here on Friday. Azma Bukhari said that the ‘Fitna’ party was matchless in telling lies and using inappropriate language. She said Barrister Saif must control his tongue, adding that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf could not digest the performance of the Punjab Chief Minister.
