Time to deal with terrorists with iron hand: Sarwar
|
 [DAWN] KASUR: Governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar has said it is the time to deal with turbans with an iron hand, besides making efforts to hold a dialogue with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain leaders.
He was talking to journalists at the inaugural ceremony of a cold storage facility at Ganda Singh Road on Monday.
The governor said both internal and external forces are behind the current wave of terrorism in the country and the nation needed to unite to eradicate the menace.
He said terrorism and extremism had shaken the foundations of the country. He added the country could not make progress as long as 'the Moslems would continue to kill the Moslems'.
Mr Sarwar said terrorism and sectarianism could be wiped out from the country only through education. He lamented that in the world ranking, Pakistain stood second from the bottom in education sector.
He said the government had taken solid steps to promote education and had increased its budget from two per cent of the GDP to four per cent.
He regretted that most of children's diseases were waterborne and most of the schools were providing unsafe and contaminated water to them.
The governor said according to a survey, 50 per cent of the children were suffering from waterborne diseases.He deplored that in Pakistain non-technical people were taking decisions on purely technical issue.
Local parliamentarians and PML-N workers were also present on the occasion.
