Chief Minister KPK Pervez Khattak has said that the CPEC has opened a new era of development in their province. While addressing the launching ceremony of Dr Shafiq Jalandhry's book titled "Beautiful Pakistan: Gilgit Baltistan" held at Jinnah Library here on Saturday, Khattak said they were not working like traditional politicians rather his government was focusing on provision of basic facilities to the masses.
He criticized media for not highlighting the development work of KPK positively. He said around a half of the KPK population has been provided health cards while his govt's special focus was on police reforms and education. He invited journalists for fact findings and true reporting on billions tree project.
He said the beautiful valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan have been ignored in the past however the book of Dr Shafiq Jalandhry has rightly highlighted this area. Writers and columnists Dr Mujahid Mansoor, Sajjad Mir, Rauf Tahir, Dr Noshina Saleem, Javed Nawaz, Shabbir Sarwar, Fawad Chaudhry, Raja Asad Ali Khan and large number of journalists and journalism students were present there. The event was jointly organized by Maulana Zafar Ali Khan Trust and DG Punjab Public Libraries.
Dr Zaheer Ahmad Babar said that libraries use was pivotal for brining reforms in a society and Dr Jalandhry's book was a good addition. "His journalism students are shining in the media industry everywhere in the country".
