Syed Zeeshan Ali Naqvi, focal person for the Prime Minister Youth Program, told leaders of the Islamabad Victims Alliance that the struggle for protection of rights and delivery of justice will continue and that the victims’ voice will be raised on all forums. He assured committee members of active help in arranging official meetings and amplifying their concerns within government channels.
The Islamabad Victims Alliance delegation included Malik Mehrban, Kashif Qureshi, Malik Jamshed, Malik Safeer, Nasir Shah, Azeer Khan, Basharat Khan, Malik Ghulam Dastgir, Adnan Shah, Malik Ghulam Hussain, Zulfiqar Ali, Umair Khan and Malik Zubair Advocate among others, who discussed the problems facing the community and sought concrete government action.
Delegates and Naqvi held a detailed discussion on issues arising from the 2008 Google/SPARCO survey. Both the Prime Minister Youth Program focal and the victims’ representatives rejected the 2008 Google SPARCO survey in unequivocal terms and expressed full support for the Islamabad victims’ position. Naqvi pledged to press for meetings with the CDA chairman and other relevant authorities to address outstanding matters.
Naqvi also said he will use established channels, including conveying the alliance’s concerns through Prime Minister’s advisor Dr. Tauqir Shah, to ensure the Islamabad victims reach the attention of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He reiterated his commitment to stand with the victims and pursue remedies to protect their rights and secure justice.
