Former Federal Minister and Senator, Nisar A Memon on Tuesday urged the country’s political parties, whether in opposition or in government, as well as newly formed ones, to set aside their differences and refrain from fostering divisiveness in society, and unite in the fight against terrorism. In an Eid Mubarak message issued here, the veteran politician and senior civil society member commenced his message with the verses of Holy Quran: “As we celebrate Eid, may Allah accept our fasting, prayers, charity and all the good deeds He made it possible for us to perform during the blessed month of Ramadan, as ordained by Him in the Holy Quran – Surah Al-Bakarah 2:85 – and in accordance with Sunnah.”
Memon said the motherland is currently facing unprecedented challenges. “In these times, let us recall the teachings of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, emphasizing Unity, Faith and Discipline and recommit ourselves to actions to save Pakistan,” he said. As an ordinary citizen, he said he urged the federal, provincial and local governments to immediately withdraw all politically motivated cases. Furthermore, he called upon them for release of all individuals held under administrative orders, both from police stations and prisons so that they can celebrate Eid with their loved ones. “This will create an enabling environment for us to come together and address our challenges, turning them into opportunities for social, political and economic progress.”
