Buzdar says PM’s speech in UNGA is a charge sheet against Modi government
The chief minister approved the initial steps for mobile schools programme and establishment of 100 new primary schools and directed concerned authorities to make a final shape to it.
Chief Minister Buzdar ordered officials to present an executable plan at earliest as the government will do everything to promote education as its prime responsibility.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Buzdar Saturday said Prime Minister Imran Khan’s speech at the 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session is a charge sheet against Narendra Modi’s government and a warning to the world. He said that Imran Khan argued the Kashmir case in a reasoned manner with great courage at the UNGA session, and his historic speech is worthy of commendation.
Usman Buzdar said the prime minister unmasked India’s fascist agenda before the international community and let the world know of Indian atrocities against Kashmiris and its horrible results. No other prime minister of Pakistan had spoken with such courage at the UNGA session before, the Punjab CM stressed.
