Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has stressed the need of making a commitment to leading our lives in accordance with the teachings of Holy Prophet (PBUH) and following the principles laid down by the City-state of Madina to wriggle the country out of the crisis.
A soulful ceremony was held at the main mosque of CM Office on the occasion of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH) on Sunday. The Punjab Auqaf Minister Saeed-ul-Hassan Shah recited the verses of Quran-e-Pak and Na'at Rasool-e-Maqbool (PBUH) along with others.
Usman Buzdar said on the occasion that Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the ultimate source of mercy for all the occasions and worlds and His immaculate way of life is the key to success for all of us. Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) laid the foundation of the city-state of Madina by evolving an exemplary system of governance in a short span of time. Everyone enjoyed equal rights and vulnerable segments, as well as religious minorities, were also given their rights, he concluded.
Moreover, the CM has allowed the farmers to directly sell their produce in 32-model bazaars. The Punjab government would provide free of cost stalls to the farmers for selling their produce, he said.
Sardar Usman also directed authorities concerned to expand the scope of agri fair-price shops adding that consumers' rights will be fully protected.
The government would go to every extent to fully implement price-control mechanism as a policy of zero-tolerance is being pursued by the government and the concerned deputy commissioner will be held responsible, in case of any complaint about price-hike in the district, he added.
