ISLAMABAD, July 19 (SABAH): A delegation of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) led by its Convener Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad on Wednesday and discussed overall political situation.

The meeting is part of consultations that the Prime Minister is holding with the allied parties for formation of caretaker setup. Discussions were also held on the latest census.

The MQM delegation commended the Prime Minister for personally monitoring Karachi’s development projects in order to ensure their completion on priority basis.

The delegation also appreciated the economic team led by the Prime Minister for reaching an agreement with the IMF. Governor Sindh Kamran Khan Tessori, Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Syed Amin Ul Haque, Dr. Farooq Sattar, Syed Mustafa Kamal were part of the MQM-Pakistan delegation. Meanwhile Federal Ministers Khawaja Muhammad Saad Rafique and Sardar Ayaz Sadiq were also present during the meeting.

Meanwhile Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed the commitment to ensure promotion of sports through various measures.

In a tweet on Wednesday, PM Shehbaz Sharif said the measures will include the encouragement and support of talented and high-performing athletes, as well as providing them with training opportunities for international competitions.

Shehbaz Sharif said he launched the Prime Minister’s Youth initiative yesterday to provide opportunities to the youth to spend their energies in a positive manner. 

The Prime Minister said majority of Pakistan’s population consists of youth but unfortunately there is a severe lack of facilities not only for local but also for international sports. In view of this, we have laid the foundation stone of the country’s first sports university and established a sports endowment fund.

Recognizing that these steps are not adequate, the Prime Minister said it is a good beginning and hoped that future governments will ensure continuation of these initiatives.

Shehbaz Sharif said history is a witness that our talented youth whenever provided with an opportunity, raised the national flag with their great performances.
