Those having fear of failure can never be successful in life: Nawaz
Three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday said anyone having the more fear of failure than the hope for success could never succeed in life, as he urged the youth to rely upon wisdom, not passion, in their practical life.
Addressing the Sharif Medical and Dental College and the Sharif College of Nursing convention, he said the educational institutions at the Sharif Medical City were purely based upon merit.
In his address, Shehbaz Sharif – the PML-N president who will assume the prime minister office in the coming days – said the hard work was the reason enabling the students receiving medals at the event.
Highlighting the importance of healthcare sector and professionals, he asked them to serve the humanity without any consideration for caste, creed or colour.
Shehbaz said their father Mian Muhammad Sharif had laid the foundation of this institution, which had developed into a towering tree.
Maryam Nawaz – the political scion of elder Sharif who has been nominated by the PML-N as the Punjab chief minister to become the first woman in Pakistan’s history to occupy the slot in any province – was also present on the occasion.
WHAT IS NAWAZ DOING NOWADAYS?
It was public appearance of Nawaz after the Feb 8 elections, making many believe that he would discuss political issues in his speech. However, it did not happen.
Nawaz was hoping to enter the prime minister’s office for a record fourth term, but a divided mandate meant he resisted the temptation and opted to nominate his younger brother to lead the future government with the support of other parties.
Earlier on Friday, Ishaq Dar – the former finance minister and a close aide of Nawaz – had told media persons that the elder Sharif was still leading the PML-N and guiding the party in federal and provincial affairs.
The Punjab Assembly will elect the new speaker and deputy speaker later in the day for which the PML-N has named Malik Ahmad Khan and Malik Zaheer Iqbal Channer respectively.
It will be followed by Maryam taking vote of confidence from the House, as Nawaz is expected to supervise the Punjab government affairs, thus enabling his daughter to have a successful launching at the government level.
The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Islamabad has discharged 32 individuals arrested in connection with the PTI protests, clearing them of the charges.
The 32 accused were brought before the ATC Islamabad late at night after being sent for an identification parade.
The case was heard by ATC Judge Abulhasnat Zulqarnain, with the accused represented by their lawyer Ansar Kiani.
Although the police had claimed that the arrests were made at the I-9 and Margalla police stations, the accused were brought to the court from Jhelum Jail, which led to the judge expressing displeasure.
During the proceedings, the police argued that the accused were arrested on November 25 and the identification parade had not yet been conducted. The police requested a 30-day physical remand for each of the accused.
However, the defense lawyer opposed the request, stating that there had been no identification parade and the police were seeking remand for recovery purposes.
The lawyer further claimed that the police had picked up laborers from their homes just to meet arrest quotas, involving them in the protest case.
After hearing the arguments, Judge Abulhasnat Zulqarnain ordered the release of the 32 accused by discharging them from the case, removing their handcuffs in the courtroom.
He also warned that if the police re-arrested them, the officers would be handcuffed as well.
An anti-terrorism court in Islamabad on Saturday extended bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser in a case pertaining to vandalism in Sangjani public gathering held by his party on Sept 28.
Justice Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain of the ATC conducted hearing of the case against the former NA speaker.
The petitioner’s lawyer requested exemptionof her client from appearance, citing terminal illness.
The lawyer also attached medical certificate of the former NA speaker.
Later, the court accepted the plea of Qaiser by extending his bail till Jan 7.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Adviser Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif claimed on Saturday that “secret meetings” were being held in the President House to oust Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and bring Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari as the new PM.
In a statement, the adviser said both father and son (President Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal) were making all the necessary efforts for premiership of the latter, adding that the president was on a secret mission to see his son as the PM.
“Zardari should make his son the PM through fair means instead of stealing the mandate given by the people to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Both Sharifs and Zardaris are enjoying the power through a stolen mandate,” he added.
He reiterated that Zardari should keep it in mind that the PTI would continue its struggle to restore its mandate.
