HYDERABAD: Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon extended his heartfelt greetings to all pilgrims and the Muslim world on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha. He said that the great sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) teaches us that sacrificing everything dear in one’s life for the sake of Allah Almighty is the true act of worship. Talking to the media at Rawal House Rahoki, Tando Jam, Sindh Senior Minister and Provincial Minister for Information, Transport and Mass Transit Sharjeel Inam Memon said that on this auspicious day, we should unite and convey the message that we are celebrating the joys of Eid with mutual love and unity, putting all our old differences and issues behind us. He said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir have played an important role in establishing world peace, while humanity comes first and every human life is extremely precious. According to him, the elimination of hatred is the need of the hour, and the country should be run in the spirit of brotherhood, tolerance, and mutual understanding. In response to a question, he said that discussions regarding the 28th Amendment are limited to mere speculation and no consultation has been held with the government in this regard. He clarified that Karachi has always been, is, and will remain a part of Sindh, while the Benazir Income Support Programme will not end as it supports poor and deserving women. In response to another question, he said that the Latifabad to Haider Chowk route in Hyderabad will be formally launched immediately after Eid-ul-Azha. He said that the local administration of Hyderabad is making full efforts to address the city’s water issues. He said that the initial initiative of the Red Line BRT project was taken by the Sindh government and work on it is ongoing. He added that every week, the Chief Minister of Sindh and concerned officials personally visit and review the progress of development works. He further said that the cost of essential commodities and construction has increased significantly; however, the government made every effort to retain the contractor, but due to compulsion, the contract had to be terminated. He also said that this project was not entrusted to any ordinary company but to an international company. In response to a question on operations against drugs, he said that the crackdown is continuing very seriously and effectively, as drugs are not just substances but a deadly poison that destroys not only individuals but entire families. He said that the police are taking strong action against drug peddlers, and the media has also been requested to cooperate so that the younger generation can be saved from this menace.
