Christian youth conference held

Youth get training in cyber security

NATHIAGALI:

Special Assistant to the Chief Minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa for Information and Public Relations, Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif Saturday said that if any religion or faith does not teach the importance of humanity and love, it is not a religion.

He said this while addressing the concluding session of a three-day Christian youth conference held at Donga Gali. "When the rulers become captives of power as is happening in our own country, then the society gets degraded. If the character is not good then a person cannot become a good Muslim, a good Christian, a Hindu, or a follower of any other faith," he said. Barrister Saif added that now people have started moving from materialism to spirituality because materialism has robbed the sense of happiness of humanity, peace and tranquility.

"In spirituality, we all will be able to move forward easily towards progress and prosperity," he said.

Barrister Saif said that soul is the name of feeling and the best person is the one who not only feels the pain and suffering of other human beings but also feels the pain and well-being of all creatures. Hearts filled with selfish desires become dead and no feelings of benevolence for others remain in them, he added.

He said that it was a great blessing to train the youth spiritually. He also assured the Christian community that the government of KPK will encourage such efforts of spiritual training.

Later, the organisers of the event presented a 'Token of Love' to the chief guest. The purpose of the conference was to inform the Christian youth invited from all over the province about cyber safety, social, and political challenges and possibilities and to strengthen them spiritually.
