While talking about Jamia Hafsa, a women’s seminary located near Lal Masjid, Sheikh Rasheed said: “One of these madrassas always gives us trouble, referring to the incident involving the hoisting of the Taliban flag on its roof. He further added that “The government’s focus is always to indulge in dialogue and negotiations to resolve matters such as these, and this is our strategy for the future as well”.
Sheikh Rasheed also talked about he NewZealand’s last-minute withdrawal in which he said that “The news left fans upset but a day will come when all international teams will play in Pakistan.” He also revealed that for the very first time cabinet provided New Zealand armed security. He also revealed that the offices deployed for the team were more than the entire force in the foreign country. He said that the agencies in Pakistan are working to the best of their capabilities.
While for the last few years, suspending mobile phone services during such special occasions or processions have become a normal thing but citizens and telecom operators are not happy about it and request the government to opt for some other way instead of making communication with each other impossible during such days.
