President, PM commit to crush corruption in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the need for collective efforts to promote a culture of peace, tolerance, and respect for the dignity of all individuals.

“Together, we can shape a peaceful future and a better world where our successive generations could live in peace and harmony”, President said in a message in connection with International Day of Peace.

Today, he said the International Day of Peace was being observed to affirm commitment to principles of peace among nations worldwide.

“The theme of this year’s International Day of Peace “Cultivating a culture of peace” calls upon us to promote a culture of peace, tolerance, and coexistence among the comity of the nations.”

The president said world was facing geopolitical tensions and conflicts in certain regions threatening world peace.

He regretted that Israel had unleashed a reign of terror in Palestine and was commiting a genocide by killing thousands of people in Gaza.

Similarly, he said the Hindutva-inspired Modi regime was committing grave human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and was persecuting Muslims and other minorities in India and depriving them of their fundamental rights.

President Zardari said these blatant violations of international law and human rights endangered global peace and security.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif called for fostering peace and stability in the region through dialogues.

To effectively achieve this end, it is essential to resolve the longstanding disputes, he said in a message on the occasion of International Day of Peace.

He emphasized that the foundation for any lasting resolution in the region hinged solely on one critical factor- achieving a fair and just settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute peacefully through an impartial plebscite and relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.

He said on the International Day of Peace, the Government and the people of Pakistan joined the global community to reflect on the shared values of tolerance, compassion, and co-operation for a peaceful world, free of war and conflict.

“Today, as the world faces division and oppression, it’s imperative to spread the message of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), which embodies love, tolerance, and human rights. He treated all individuals, regardless of their faith, with respect and dignity. Embracing this spirit, we must promote global brotherhood, justice, and love,” President Zardari remarked.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that in today’s turbulent era, mere reading about the life of Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) life is not enough rather “we must follow his teachings in letter and spirit”.
