SHEIKHUPURA : President Pervez Musharraf has stressed the need for promoting tolerance in the society, which is the essence of Islamic teachings. He was addressing the foundation stone laying ceremony of Education City campus of University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore, here on Saturday.
The President said there is unrest in the society, which has unfortunately now turned out to be religion based, citing that Muslims had once been stronger and ruled the world by all respects because they were united. “Today, we need to get united which is our strength,” he added.
The President advised the students to refrain from politics and must focus on their studies to excel in their relevant fields. “You must not get in politics as there are many things which are not true but presented as to be true and you cannot understand many realities,” he added.
He emphasized upon them to focus on their wholesome development by grooming themselves morally, intellectually, physically and socially.
President Musharraf observed that students are the future of the country and efforts are under way to strengthen this vital force through promotion of education.
There is turmoil in the country as the national interests are in clash with personal interests. It needs to be corrected. We are facing this situation over the last one year, he maintained.
