Consul General of USA Kristen Hawkins called on Provincial Minister of Minority Affairs Ramesh Singh Arora in his camp office.

Political/Economic Chief Douglas Johnston, Political Specialist M Daim Fazil, Secretary HR Ali Bahadur Qazi and other persons were also present in the meeting. There was a detailed discussion on promoting interfaith harmony with the cooperation of both countries. The provincial minister told the consul general that as soon as the government was established in Punjab, the protection of the rights of religious minorities was being ensured. “Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif went to Kartarpur and opened the Baisakhi festival. She also reached Maryamabad and distributed 10,000 Easter grants. Besides, on the instructions of the Chief Minister, cheques of educational scholarships have been distributed among minority students,” he added.

He said that by increasing the minority development fund in the budget, religious tourism would be promoted and religious places of worship would be constructed and repaired. He emphasized digital learning so that the young generation can also compete with developed countries in the field of IT. “It is desired that the quality of life of the people living in rural areas should also be improved. According to the vision of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, all Pakistanis living in Pakistan have equal rights and all enjoy religious freedom,” he added.
