Lahore:
The chief minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, said that being refugee is not a crime.
“It is a cruel compulsion. No one becomes a refugee of his own desire. You have to leave your house, its soil to save your life,” she said in her message during World Refugee Day.
She stressed: “The wars ended, but the feeling of the homeless of refugees has been for generations. The helplessness of the displaced refugees from Palestine and Syria is equivalent to a serious test for humanity. The world must carry out the serious reality that those who seek asylum are not weak, but oppressed.”
She pointed out: “Despite rare resources, Pakistan generously welcomed millions of refugees while respecting their dignity and their esteem. Pakistan has always become a noisy voice of the oppressed and will continue to raise its voice for the well-being of refugees around the world. I pray that peace is prevailing, oppression is eliminated and peace Around the world. “
In another statement, chief minister Maryam Nawaz expressed sorrow as to the death of three tourists from Lahore due to the collapse of a glacier near Mansehra.
The chief minister also expressed his pain about the disappearance of senior actress Ayesha Khan.
