RAWALPINDI: Special Assistant on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan has said Pakistan’s positive and peaceful image stands promoted as a result of efforts and vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Talking to the media persons at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi today, she said the world is accepting the Prime Minister’s narrative that Pakistan is a peace-loving country. She said other countries are now softening their travel advisories for Pakistan which will help promote tourism in the country.
She expressed satisfaction over the revival of cricket in Pakistan and expressed the confidence that more international teams will now come to Pakistan.
The Special Assistant thanked Bangladesh Cricket Board and its government for sending their team to Pakistan regardless of the negative propaganda of our enemy India. He said this has given a message to the world that Pakistan is a peaceful country and the people of the country have a great love for cricket.
Firdous Ashiq Awan said the government is committed to exploiting the potential and talent of their youth in different sports.
She said we are cognizant of the importance of sports for promotion of positivity and fight intolerance in the society. She said restructuring has been done in the cricket and improvements will also be brought in other games such as hockey, football and boxing.
Responding to a question, she said given the current situation in occupied Kashmir where innocent Kashmiri people are being subjected to the worst form of atrocities by Indian forces, the cricket ties between Pakistan and India are not possible. She demanded India to immediately lift curfew in the occupied valley.
