Government is ready to face any challenge for the establishment of peace:Hamza Shahbaz

Lahore: PML-N Central Leader Hamza Shahbaz Sharif MNA has said that government  is ready to face any challenge for the establishment of peace in the country. He said that PML-N is ready for both options either dialogue or war for restoration of peace. He said that dialogues can be held with Taliban supporting dialogue but those who do not accept constitution of the country and bent upon ruination will be dealt otherwise.

He expressed these views while talking to media on the occasion of foundation stone laying ceremony of Regional Blood Donation Center costing eight crore rupees at Red Crescent Pakistan Punjab Branch, here today. Chairman Red Crescent Punjab Mian Muhammad Hanif was also present on the occasion.

Hamza Shahbaz said that dialogues are not the weakness of the government. He said that government had started the process of dialogue to remove any confusion in this regard. He said that if Taliban will kill our army jawans, our army has the right of self-defense.

Hamza Shahbaz said that terrorism and development of the country cannot go together. He said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had started dialogues with Taliban with sincerity but the nation cannot see martyrdom of its sons. He said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is determined to restore peace either through dialogue or war. He said that a few thousand terrorists cannot impose their will on 19 crore people.

Later, Hamza Shahbaz Sharif enquired after the children suffering from thalassemia at Red Crescent center and gave gifts to them. He asked the management of Red Crescent Punjab to immediately identify such three districts where it wants to establish hospitals. He said that Punjab government will provide financial and administrative assistance for the construction of such hospitals in the proposed districts. He said that Punjab government is also working shoulder to shoulder with Red Crescent for serving ailing humanity.

Earlier, Chairman Red Crescent Punjab, Mian Muhammad Hanif informed about the services of Red Crescent and financial problems being faced by it.
