He said "We will expose Narender Modi's real face in front of the world, political, religious parties and the whole nation is united against terrorism. Terrorists have been dealt with strictness". He further said that to make the future of our country secure and ensure its peace and security, thousands of martyrs sacrificed their lives
He said that sacrifices of Punjab Police will always be remembered. He said that sacrifices made in the war against terrorism by armed forces, Intelligence agencies, police, and other law enforcement agencies are unprecedented. There is no match to this bravery in the world. He said we acknowledge that America is a superpower and it spent billions along with allies to establish peace in Afghanistan but couldn't succeed.
He said that Armed forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan by establishing peace in Pakistan has set a new example. He said that government of Pakistan wants to convey to America that they should listen to Pakistan's narrative and implement it because, without the help of Pakistan, America cannot establish peace in Afghanistan. We had already played positive role in the Afghan peace process and we will continue to do so, he added.
He said after Pulwama Attack India met with a humiliating defeat on the diplomatic front and now we will not let India succeed in its plans instead we will expose its true face in front of the whole world, for that I will write letters to Parliamentarians of the UK, EU, and the US to unveil atrocities and terrorism of India on Kashmiris and will go on to lobby against India so India will have to stop atrocities and resolve Kashmir Issue. The offer to mediate Kashmir Issue between Pakistan and India has hurt India deeply. He said Pakistan always talked about peace and even today we want peace with all neighbouring countries and instead of war we are in favour of solution through dialogues, but India should not mistake our desires for peace as our weakness, we all are united and to protect our borders we will not hold back from any sacrifice.
Governor Punjab said that after tasting defeat at diplomatic front India turned up violence in Kashmir and to cover issues in occupied Kashmir India is carrying out attacks at LOC. The world must raise voice against Indian atrocities, violence should stop in Kashmir. "We want to resolve the Kashmir issue through dialogues and needs to draw the attention of the international community towards Kashmir.
Governor Punjab Ch M Sarwar said that we need to fight against poverty and scarcity, our enemies should know that we can't be defeated. Security Agencies played a pivotal part in the eradication of terrorism; our security forces despite limited resources at their disposal did this job. Today we pay our homage to martyrs; the bravery of our men is unprecedented in the whole world.
Government wants to strengthen institutions of national security. He said we will help families of martyrs and all the issues of police will be dealt on top priority by Punjab government and all institutions including police will be made free of political influence. At the end of the ceremony, prayers were made for martyrs of armed forces, police, and other department and for martyrs of Kashmir.
