Rawalpindi:
Federal Minister of Railways Hanif Abbasi swore on Sunday that no one speaking of Pakistan would be accepted, stressing that “thousands of governments can be sacrificed on the blood of our martyrs”.
He said the country was heading for prosperity, with a high -level Saudi delegation that should soon bring “billions of dollars in investment”.
Addressing a reception organized by the Anjuman-E-Tajiran, Abbasi has praised the longtime support of the merchants. “Whether in prison, union policy or during national political upheavals, you stood with us.”
He added that Pakistan “was once on a fan, but now his voice resonates around the world, in the Middle East and in Central Asia, where our Prime Minister is welcomed with respect”.
He attributed the new diplomatic impetus to the sacrifices of martyrs and “sincerity and fierce work” of the government.
By targeting the opponents, he said: “Some people wanted another May 9, thinking that it would bring them to power, or that if a foreign president returned to power, they too would get up, but look at what happened.”
Undering the unit, he added: “We have never resisted a legal action … No stick load, no tear gas has stopped us. Work in law; Hanif Abbasi is with you.”
He described the ethnic diversity of Pakistan as his pride: “Pachtounes, Kashmiris, Sindhis … They are all jewelry on our forehead. But whoever says they do not accept Pakistan, we do not accept them”.
By comparing the progress of Punjab to other provinces, Abbasi said: “Look at Rawalpindi today … There was no transport, no education or health. Remove the work carried out by Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz, and what remains?
He announced that “beautiful electric buses and modern stops” would arrive soon. “When our mothers and sisters travel comfortably, who will not feel proud? CM Maryam Nawaz would visit Rawalpindi on October 15 or 16 to offer the city its first fleet of electronic bus.”
Abbasi also praised the army. “During the Haq War, Pakistan captured 22 Indian messages … This is not our statement, that’s what the world says. Pakistan killed seven of the Jets from India and when they hit the base of Noor Khan with missiles, we retaliated stronger.”
The minister added that attacks on the security forces were equivalent to betrayal. “We take Pakistan to development. Saudi Arabia and the world come here, investing billions. Pakistan exists, which is why we exist. The railways already connect the whole country; in Sha Allah, Pakistan will last forever.”
