LahoreFormer Punjab governor Lt.Gen.(r) Khalid Maqbool has appealed to the people of Punjab to display a spirit of tolerance and solidarity among themselves to defeat terrorists and condemn the anti-social and anti-Islam elements who want to create disruption and disintegration in the society. He was addressing on Friday a press conference organized by the Royal Palm Golf & Country Club (PG&CC)’s newly founded organization “Jazba Foundation” to help the IDPs of Sawat. He cautioned against the sinister designs of anti-Islam and Anti-Pakistan elements who might indulge in further terrorist activities in the province to create panic and harassment among the general public. He said the army operation against the insurgents in Sawat and many others places had weakened them considerably , however, they would try to group together again to spread terror in other parts of the country. The former governor said that generally this kind of military operations takes considerable amount of time to complete, like in Iraq, but the Pakistan army had completed the task of rooting out the insurgents from Malakand division in the shortest possible time without any external help. He admitted that it would take some time to root out the militants but the Sawat valley and other places in Malakand Division were ready for the rehabilitation of the people who would return back to their homes very soon. He appreciated the Jazba Foundation, founded by RPG&CC Club Chief Executive Officer Ramzan Sheikh and his associates on purely humanitarian basis, which has sent so far over Rs.25 million worth essentials to the people of Sawat over the last two weeks
