Islamabad: Pakistan is the happiest country with the coup in Bangladesh. Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s happiness is now visible. During the recent protests in Bangladesh, statues of Bangladesh’s founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman were vandalised. Referring to this, Shahbaz Sharif said that this is the fate of anyone who has led the anti-Pakistan movement. Due to people’s anger, Sheikh Hasina resigned from her post and has taken refuge in India. The angry mob also vandalised several statues of Sheikh Mujibur. The photographs in the museum related to him were also destroyed. The Hasina government fell due to the riots in the country, which was one of the worst riots in the history of 50 years. About 300 people were killed and thousands of others were injured in the anti-reservation protests that started in early July. The protesters were demanding the government to abolish the civil service job quota. However, this turned into the biggest crisis for Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year rule. Pakistani PM Shahbaz Sharif, while referring to the destruction of the statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, said that as you sow, so shall you reap. In fact, it was Sheikh Mujibur who had divided Pakistan.
What did Shahbaz Sharif say
Shahbaz said, ‘Once upon a time, East Pakistan was a part of our Pakistan. Later, unfortunately, it got separated and Bangladesh was formed. Whatever happened there after that is in front of you. But recently, the person who had started a movement against Pakistan and said that the two-nation theory is over. Today, you see what happened to his statues there. I don’t want to go into that much. There is a saying that you reap what you sow.’
Shahbaz also spoke on the economy
Speaking on other issues at the National Youth Conference in Islamabad, PM Shehbaz said Pakistan had suffered economic losses of $150 billion and thousands of lives lost in the fight against terrorism. Several federal ministers and Army Chief Asim Munir were also present at the conference. Speaking of economic challenges, Shehbaz said the government was forced to privatise Pakistan International Airlines. He further said, South Korea copied Pakistan’s five-year development plan and boosted its economy while Pakistan is still lagging behind.
Talking to the youth
Shahbaz assured that the government will provide more funds for youth empowerment despite challenges of electricity, tax and export. Shahbaz said it is the government’s responsibility to equip the youth with modern education, technology and skills so that they can change the country’s fortunes. He hoped that the youth start small businesses. Shahbaz said if we resolve to change Pakistan, it will not be far when the country will emerge as a great nation.
