According to the source, Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has sought a report from IG police about the murder of an 8-year-old child after abduction in Faisalabad and ordered the early arrest of the accused. The CM directed that all the requirements of the provision of justice to the bereaved family should be met. The accused deserve severe punishment according to the law; he said and extended sympathies to the heirs.
Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has said that Pakistan is a peaceful country and Pakistanis are a peace-loving nation. Pakistan has always played a key role in ensuring world peace and I believe that real and lasting victory is always peace and not war.
In his message, the CM said that Pakistan has played the role of a pioneer in the United Nations peace missions. Many brave soldiers of Pakistan’s peace missions were martyred during efforts to restore peace and stability in dangerous and turbulent regions; he mentioned and added that the sacrifices of the martyred officers and jawans will always be remembered. He said that lasting peace in the region is not possible without a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue.
On the one hand, Pakistan has lit the candle of peace, on the other hand, India’s aggressive behaviour is a threat to peace in the region, he regretted.
The Modi-led regime has sabotaged all peace efforts in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. People living in Occupied Kashmir, Palestine and some areas are seeking peace.
He said that the history of world peace is incomplete without the golden role of Pakistan. Peace is the path to development, stability and prosperity.
The global community must understand that the world can be made a peaceful place only by ending mutual conflicts. If mankind has a long and lasting desire for prosperity, then everyone should live in peace. There is also a need to remember those who sacrificed their lives to establish peace in the country, he concluded.
