IPP announces worker conventions, public gatherings from October 13

Istehkam-i-Pakistan Party (IPP) Central Information Secretary, Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan Saturday announced that the party will hold worker conventions and public gatherings across the country from October 13.

Addressing a press conference, she said, “Under the leadership of Jahangir Khan Tareen and party president Abdul Haleem Khan, IPP has decided to organize worker conventions and public gatherings from October 13 throughout the country. These public gatherings will demonstrate that IPP represents the public at the grassroots level.”

Following the party’s registration with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), she said IPP is embarking on a journey dedicated to serving the people of Pakistan.

Dr Awan emphasized that with the support of the masses, IPP aimed to fulfil the dreams of Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah for a prosperous Pakistan.

She regretted that while some parties have promoted the slogan of “respect the vote,” for their interest IPP will give “respect to the voters,” who are the real stakeholders in the progress, prosperity, and development of the country.

She further emphasized that the country required leadership that serves public and national interests rather than advancing personal agendas.

IPP is determined to lead the nation towards progress, prosperity, and development. Dr. Awan added. “The objective of IPP’s politics is to unify politics and the state and bring the public together on one platform for the betterment of the country.”

She said, IPP aimed to unite a nation divided along religious and political lines, harnessing the power of the people for the progress and prosperity of Pakistan. She said the party’s manifesto revolves around working towards the country’s progress while seeking the trust and input of the public.

Dr Awan stressed that the nation currently needed parties focused on delivering services rather than those relying solely on slogans. She welcomed and endorsed the decisions of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), and said, “We support and endorse all the policies and initiatives of SIFC.”

According to her, SIFC holds the potential to attract both foreign and domestic investment into Pakistan, contributing significantly to the country’s development and economic strengthening.

Dr Awan believed that SIFC is a national initiative aimed at promoting Pakistan’s development and progress, with the potential to strengthen the country’s economy.

According to Dr Awan, a strong economy is essential for ensuring the nation’s security. She expressed her confidence that the decisions made by SIFC will contribute to the country’s progress.

Additionally, Dr Awan endorsed the decisions of the apex committee on the National Action Plan regarding action against illegal immigrants, asserting that these immigrants have consistently worked against Pakistan’s interests. She emphasized the need to utilize all available resources for the well-being of Pakistanis rather than serving other’s interests

She said YouTube is a weapon but it should be used to promote national security.

Upon Nawaz Sharif’s proposed return to Pakistan, Dr Firdous said there are talks of returning to Pakistan while sitting in Avenfield.

She said a captain has to come to the ground himself to play a match.

She said a leader wants to come to Pakistan with a 21-gun salute on October 21.

She said it remains to be seen what his health reports will say now.

She said IPP wants new elections to be based on new constituencies.

She said in politics there is never a specific ground and people remain in touch with each other.

She said their party was ready to welcome all the good players from wherever they want to come and join them.

On Usman Dar’s interview, she said Dar has wiped out PTI from Sialkot.

She said now Dar wanted to become a sworn witness saying that the mastermind of May 9 is PTI Chairman.

She cautioned that those who play both sides of the wicket never succeed.
