LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif has said that all stakeholders must work together to ensure social justice in society.
In her message on ‘World Day of Social Justice,’ the chief minister said that the Pakistan Muslim League-N government firmly believed in the principles of social justice, adding that ensuring justice and equality remained among its top priorities.
She said Islam strongly advocated social justice, equality and peaceful coexistence, and highlighted that the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) provided a timeless message of fairness and compassion for humanity.
Ms Sharif said societies lacking social justice lagged behind in the race for progress, adding that justice and equality formed the foundation of any civilised society.
She noted that the widening economic gap between rich and poor is giving rise to social challenges, and said initiatives such as the Minority Card and Himmat Card programmes reflected tangible progress towards achieving the goal of social justice.
