Level-playing field for all political parties: Nisar

Caretaker Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Nisar A Memon Sunday said that the interim government would provide level-playing fields to all the political parties taking part in the forthcoming general elections.
"The holding of fair, free and impartial elections in a secure environment is our objective so as the voters could exercise their right to franchise without any pressure.
The national media would ensure equal coverage to all political parties," said the Minister while talking to a 10-member delegation from Northern Areas Legislative Assembly who called on the Minister here at his office.
Deputy Chief Executive Northern Areas Legislative Assembly Mir Ghazanfar Ali led the delegation which also included members of NA legislative assembly Noor-ul-Ain, Dr Muzaffar Ali, Abdul Hamid, Abdul Quddoos, Sikandar Ali, Ibrahim Sanai, Baghir Ahmad Khan, Dilshad Bana and Wazir Irfan Ali.
The minister further said that the interim government would take all necessary initiatives to preserve the progress achieved during the past eight years so as the national economy could further grow.
Hailing the steps of the federal government taken for empowerment of the people of Northern Areas, the minister said that the historic decision by the government to write-off of the liabilities of the poor peasants of the northern areas was another step towards fulfilling the promises made to share the burden of the poor people of the area.
Terming the development package announced by the government as a historic step, Senator Nisar Memon said that the Information Ministry would soon launch new projects in the northern areas so as the people from the remote areas could also benefit from the transmission of the PTV and Radio Pakistan.
Felicitating the Minister over the new responsibility, Mir Ghazanfar Ali said that the people of northern areas fully owned the Minister due to the untiring efforts he had made for the prosperity and empowerment of the people of northern areas.
"Due to the development process, the northern areas have become the most peaceful region of the state. We pray for the success of the interim government," he said.
