PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Information and Public Relations, Mian Iftikhar Hussain Friday said the sacrifices rendered by ex-Senior Provincial Minister Bashir Ahmad Bilour Shaheed will not go in vain.
"The followers of Bacha Khan will fight the menace of terrorism till the end even at the cost of their lives but will never retreat", he said.
He expressed these views while addressing on the occasion of Khatm-e-Quran for the departed soul of Bashir Ahmad Bilour Shaheed jointly arranged by Awami National Party District Peshawar and Pakhtun Student Federation at Bacha Khan Markaz, Peshawar.
The ceremony was attended by senior leaders of ANP including Senator Haji Muhammad Adeel, Afrasiyab Khattak, Haroon Bilour, Arbab Tahir, Provincial Ministers, MPAs and party workers. The Information Minister said that it was need of the hour that all political parties, state organs and the whole nation should come stand united to develop a consensus and make final decision to curb terrorism.
He said that no one should indulge oneself in the misunderstanding and credibility that the war against terrorism was the issue related to ANP and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa only.
If the terrorism was not curbed at this stage then it would spread and no individual, no political party and no place would be safe, he warned.
All political parties of the country should have to rise above party politics and think in broader perspective of national interest, he maintained.
Regarding talks with Taliban for durable peace in the whole region, Mian Iftikhar Hussain said that ANP always welcomed talks and tried to resolve issue through peaceful means but the talks must be meaningful and positive.
The ceremony was also addressed by Senator Haji Adeel, Afrasiyab Khattak, Haroon Bilour and other speakers who eulogized the sacrifices of Bashir Ahmad Bilour and other martyrs who laid down their lives for the sake of the country. On this occasion, prayers were offered for the eternal peace of the martyrs.
