KARACHI: Terming the apex court verdicts in cases involving
the leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Pakistan
Tehreek-i-Insaf “relatively positive”, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad
Ali Shah on Saturday lamented that there was a different yardstick for
the Pakistan Peoples Party.
“I could not comment on these
verdicts but I would like to say the decisions of the court are
comparatively better for both, the PTI and PML-N, while there is a
different yardstick for the PPP,” he told reporters after attending the
‘Kiran Sitara programme’ designed to fight tuberculosis. “We always
respect court decisions.”
The event was organised under the banner of ‘She Leads’ conference by the Indus Health Network at the PAF Museum.
CM
Shah claimed that the forthcoming general election would be the last
election for PTI chief Imran Khan because “he is no longer a leader of
the youth”.
“Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari is a genuine leader
of the youth of the country,” he said, adding that his party chief had
the capability to steer the country out of every crisis.
Regarding
the Peshawar Army Public School tragedy, Mr Shah said smiles and
fragrances of the martyred children were still alive in his memories.
“We cannot forget them, they were our future and their sacrifice has
united the nation against terrorists.”
Earlier, addressing the moot, the chief minister said it was a proud moment for him to be in the midst of 10,000 girl students.
He
said collaborative effort between the Indus Health Network, Interactive
Research and Development, education department and Kiran Sitara
programme reflected the government’s intentions to steer Sindh towards
the path of progress, particularly during the times of change.
CM
Shah said Kiran Sitara adolescent health and leadership programme
achieved remarkable goals by mobilising young girls at secondary
schools.
Mr Shah said he was convinced that investing in education for girls and women was the key to unlock advances across the society.
