Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday night said all Pakistanis were contributing funds for the construction of dams and he only witnessed similar passion during the 1965 war. “All Pakistanis are very exuberant and contributing with passion,” Justice Nisar said while speaking to a private TV channel in Manchester after his successful live telethon. “From a four-year-old to an 84-year-old, the entire country is proactive. This is no ordinary situation and has become a campaign,” he added. The chief justice continued, “The entire nation is involved and I have never seen such passion before except maybe during the 1965 war. I appreciate the passion.” Responding to a question regarding his announcement of starting an awareness campaign for family planning from next month in light of a “population blast” happening in the country, the top judge said, “We had created a taskforce for family planning under Health Secretary Captain (r) Zahid Saeed which comprised experts from all over Pakistan.” Published in Daily Times, November 26th 2018.
