PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Information, Public Relations and Inter-Provincial Coordination, Mian Iftikhar Hussain has said that in the present tense situation where the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have become psychological patients due to bomb blasts, waves of militancy and devastating floods, the holding of recreational activities and creating occasions for bringing smile on the faces of the people is really an appreciable act.

He hoped that more such programs aimed at amusing the people and get them rid of the fearful situation would be held in future as well. He expressed these views while addressing the participants of a Mazahia Mushaira as chief guest organized by Academy for Rural Development, Peshawar on the eve of its Golden Jubilee celebration.

Mian Iftikhar Hussain said, if he had one dozen children, he would not have hesitated to sacrifice them for the cause of the country. He said, he was ready to pardon the blood of his lonely son if the militants accepted the writ of government and laid down arms. He said, for flourishing good norms in a society, provision of justice to every member of the society was indispensable.
