Nation proud of strong reply to Indian aggression: PA speaker

LAHORE:Punjab Assembly Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan has said that Pakistan’s Air Force, Army and Navy have taught India a historic lesson and Pakistan’s Armed Forces have made the nation proud in front of the world in a brilliant manner.

He was addressing the inaugural session of the 12th international conference on Research in Education (ICORE) organised by the Institute of Education and Research (IER), University of the Punjab, under the theme “Education for the Future: Challenges and Opportunities” at Faisal Auditorium, here on Tuesday.

In his address, Malik Muhammad Ahmed Khan said that Pakistan played the role of a frontline state in the war against terrorism. “In the war against terrorism, the army and people of Pakistan sacrificed more than 90,000 lives and suffered billions of dollars in losses, so how can India accuse Pakistan of terrorism?”, he questioned.

He said that by making allegations without evidence, India attacked our sovereignty in the dark of night and unilaterally blocked Pakistan's waters. He said that Pakistan has demonstrated its skills and courage before the world. He said that today's era is the most proud in my life. He said that the current era is the era of technological superiority, and technology played an important role in the recent Pak-India war. He said that the narrative created by our youth in the war was recognised by the world. He said that there was no technology in the school education system during our era. He said that learning skills with technology is a sign of our survival and progress.

He said that laws are also to be made to regulate artificial intelligence, but there is no such expert in the assembly. He said that an agreement is being made with a university to teach artificial intelligence to members of the assembly so that the members of the assembly who make laws gain skills.

He hoped that the best working papers will come out in the three-day international conference. PU VC Prof Dr M Ali on the occasion said, ‘We are proud of the courage and wisdom with which the Pakistan Army has fought the Indian aggression. Prof Dr Nasir Mahmood said that students should equip themselves with practical skills in relevant fields. Educationists, researchers, teachers and students from various universities were present.
