One day not sufficient to laud Quaid’s services: Azma

LAHORE:Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said Quaid-i-Azam, Father of the Nation, is our role model, and celebrating his services in just one day is insufficient.

"Today, all provincial ministers and the bureaucracy are together paying tribute to Quaid-i-Azam. It is easy to kill or burn, but giving people happiness is very difficult,” she added. She expressed these views during a ceremony organised on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the birthday of Nawaz Sharif, and Christmas.

She said Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was serving the public day and night. "She entrusted me with the responsibility of bringing back the culture of Punjab. As the minister of Culture, I am making efforts to revive Punjab’s culture. In this regard, we have formed a committee. We will restore the vibrancy of every theatre and arts council in Punjab. Programmes will be organised in all the arts councils of Punjab,” Azma said.

According to the vision of the chief minister, the culture of Punjab should be promoted, she added. "Today, on the occasion of Christmas, it is a moment of joy for our minority brothers and sisters. We must showcase the beautiful and peaceful face of Pakistan to the entire world," the minister said.
