SPINWAM, North Waziristan, March 3 (APP): Prime Minister
Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Friday said it was high time for all to
shun political rivalries and focus energies on eliminating
poverty and illiteracy from the country.
“It is need of the hour to refrain from negative politics and
get united in the interest of Pakistan,” he said during his address at the ground-breaking of Kurram Tungi Dam here.
The prime minister said unity among the nation could help
overcome difficult challenges and make the country economically
strong.
“History will be inscribed with the fact whether someone made
positive or negative contribution for the country,” he said, adding,
“When it comes to Pakistan’s interest, all need to stand by
each other.”
Nawaz Sharif said even terrorism, being the toughest of challenges,
was addressed with the unity of nation and consensus of
all political forces and military.
“Now we have to stay united for the prosperity of country
after defeating the menace of terrorism,” he said.
He mentioned that the people of North Waziristan and armed
forces rendered immense sacrifices in elimination of terrorists,
which ultimately led to peace in the area.
“After an era of horror and fright, a new dawn of love and
peace has marked the North Waziristan,” he said.
