Sindh Senior Minister and Provincial Minister for Information, Transport and Mass Transit, Sharjeel Inam Memon, said that a few days ago the Sindh Assembly hosted the Commonwealth Conference, which conveyed a positive message about Pakistan to the world. He said that international exhibitions were organized in Karachi, sending a global message that Pakistan is a cradle of peace. He added that the Sindh government organized the CPA Conference in a highly successful and well-organized manner, which also sent a positive message to the international community.
Talking to the media at the Sindh Assembly Media Corner, he said that following the CPA Conference, the President of the World Bank and the accompanying delegation visited various cities and praised the Sindh government’s projects. He said that the Sindh government is implementing the largest housing project in the world’s history, under which 2.1 million houses are being constructed-an initiative unparalleled anywhere in the world. He added that development projects are also underway in other cities of the province, including Karachi, and the government is striving to provide facilities to as many people as possible. He further stated that the Sindh government will launch more projects in the future to maximize public benefit.
Condemning the unfortunate incident that took place in Islamabad, Sharjeel Inam Memon said that terrorists attacked innocent and defenseless people with the support of Indian intelligence agencies and the Taliban. He said that those enemy countries that cannot confront Pakistan head-on and have suffered historic defeat are conspiring against Pakistan through proxies. He said the attack revealed how far the enemy could stoop, while Indian fake accounts attempted to use the incident to spread sectarianism in the country. He said this was an attack on Pakistan’s integrity, to which the government of Pakistan has given befitting responses in the past and will continue to do so in the future. He added that instead of fighting directly, India is resorting to terrorism through proxies like cowards; however, Pakistan’s armed forces are fully prepared to give a befitting response. He said that all political parties should unite to confront this threat and send a clear message to the enemy that the nation stands united.
In response to a question, he said that if the MQM and Jamaat-e-Islami do not oppose in Karachi, how will their politics function, while they remain silent on similar incidents in other cities. He questioned that local body elections have not been held in Punjab-are the people there not human beings? He said that without criticism and opposition in Karachi, the politics of certain parties cannot survive.
Responding to a question regarding the PTI’s announcement of a strike on Sunday, he said that businesses, offices, and educational institutions are already closed on Sundays. He added that the public itself faces difficulties due to the closure of shops and offices, and if someone wants to please others, they may continue doing so.
In response to another question, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that 1,055 fire incidents occurred in Karachi, which were controlled by rescue agencies and Rescue 1122, and wherever mistakes were made, they have been acknowledged.
Responding to a question, he said that sit-ins do not solve problems in Pakistan; instead, the citizens whose rights are being highlighted suffer the most.
In response to another question, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that everyone has the right to criticize on social media, but such criticism must remain within the framework of the Constitution and the law.
