Martyr’s death life of the nation: minister

Islamabad

As we know that a martyr is not dead, he is alive and his death is the life of the nation in itself so we should never forget our martyrs and should always honour them with great respect.

This was stated by Minister of State Muhammad Balighur Rehman while attending the prize distribution ceremony of ‘Shooting Competition in the Honour of Police Shuhada’ as the chief guest at the Police College Sihala arranged by the National Bureau of Police at Sihala here on Monday.

The minister congratulated National Bureau of Police Director General Iqbal Mehmood for conducting this significant competition among all provinces of Pakistan.

“The competition is the first step of honouring police’s martyrs and there is still room for improvement. Such events are not only momentous to honour our police officers but are also important to judge and measure the skills of our currently serving police officers,” he said.

The minister said he would like to see enhancement of skills of our police officers, through these competitions.

He requested all provincial police training institutes to invite officers from other provinces and train them in their respective training institutes.

“There should be some quota dedicated to different provinces for this purpose. Such trainings not only give a platform to share good practices among provinces but also create a unique bond of friendship and brotherhood among the ‘jawans’,” he said.

He saluted all the martyrs and currently serving police officers and ‘jawans’ who work day and night for the safety of their citizens even in harsh conditions.

The minister said the law and order situation was getting better in the country because of the clear vision of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his visionary National Action Plan. “Monitoring of Madrassas, verification of SIMS, latest equipment for police officers, registration of the criminals in jails, transferring hard criminal to special jails, and training of our officers by the best international trainers are just the few examples of our vision. We should never lose our hope and should always remain focused to counter terrorism and extremism in our country. We should work in harmony and create synergies among provinces,” he said.

In the end, the minister distributed prizes among winners.

He thanked the DG NPB and congratulated the officers who won prizes in shooting competition. The ICT Police took the trophy of best team in shooting.
