Bahawalpur, June 08, 2023 (PPI-OT): On the direction of Engr. Prof. Dr. Athar Mahboob, Vice Chancellor, the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, a delegation of teachers and students visited Jinnah House Lahore to express solidarity with the Pakistan Army. The visit was organized by the Directorate of Outreach, Communication and Public Relations, the Islamia University Bahawalpur in collaboration with ISPR.
The delegation made a detailed visit to Jinnah House Lahore and the participants were given a briefing about the sad and condemnable incident of May 9th. After seeing the heart-wrenching scenes of Jinnah House Lahore, the faculty members Dr. Zia-ur-Rehman, Dr. Ramzan Tahir and Ms. Marina Rashid, who were part of the delegation, expressed their views and said that the tragedy of May 9 was extremely horrific that it shook the entire nation.
After this cruel incident, the whole nation is suffering from mental agony. For any nation, its sensitive installations, historical buildings, and cultural heritage are of great importance. Their protection and respect is mandatory for the entire nation. They are symbols of national unity and security. An attack on these historical buildings and national assets is tantamount to an attack on the security and identity of this country. We, on behalf of the Vice Chancellor, students, teachers, and other departments of the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, strongly condemn this incident and reiterate that we stand by our Pakistan Army.
On this occasion, we also pay our respects to our martyrs who have protected the blessing of our freedom in every age by sacrificing their lives. We demand that the law enforcement agencies, after thorough investigation, should punish those involved in the May 9 tragedy strictly according to the laws of the country so that such incidents do not happen again in the future. After visiting Jinnah House Lahore, the delegation participated in the evening flag lowering ceremony at the Wagah border and expressed solidarity with the Pakistan Army.
