KARACHI: Federal Information Minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Wednesday said that Pakistan People’s Party’s leadership was always ready to talk to those who believed in country's Constitution and abide by its writ and ideology.
“We are ready to talk to them and ready to win back the hearts of estranged people and are willing to engage them at every level of dialogue and cooperation,” she said while speaking at the launching of 100 kilowatt high power transmitter at Radio Pakistan's Turbat Station, from Karachi studios.
However, she maintained that those who desecrated and burnt national flags and conspired against country's existence will not enjoy a soft corner or a place in the hearts of people.
The minister could not fly to Turbat due to technical fault in PIA's aircraft which landed back soon after taking off from Karachi airport.
Addressing Senator Ismail Buledi, Senator Dr Abdul Malik and other notables and officials, who were present at Turbat Radio Station, she said: “We need to be united to face such conspiracies. I appreciate your efforts in strengthening Pakistan and making it a progressive and prosperous country.”
The minister said that PPP leadership, while promoting friendly approach of President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, was taking timely initiatives with regards to the rights of people of Balochistan and their implementation.
These steps would help create better harmony between the federation and the provinces, but also be able to provide reliable news in time to Baloch people living in far flung hilly areas, she said.
The minister said it would also keep people abreast of the current affairs besides broadcasting entertainment programmes for women folk.
Dr Firdous said that Baloch youth will enjoy quality information and entertainment programmes on Turbat Radio Station. This transmitter, she hoped will play an important role by engaging Baloch youth in variety of current affairs programmes.
