Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has said that millions of children in Palestine and Kashmir have unfortunately become victims of Israeli and Indian aggression.
She stated in her message on the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression that when the smiles of children turn into sighs and sobs, humanity feels heartfelt grief and sorrow over it.
She said thousands of small bodies buried under the rubble of buildings in Gaza are a testament to global apathy over Israeli aggression. In Gaza, the buildings destroyed due to Israeli bombing have not only turned into rubble but buried thousands of innocent children under it.
The chief minister said the atmosphere of Kashmir is filled with heavy sobs of children whose voices have been muted forever.
She regretted that this human tragedy being faced by the innocent children who have become victims of aggression across the globe speaks volume of the dark side of human history.
The chief minister denounced the fact that children unfortunately become victims of aggression not only in wars but also in peacetime.
She highlighted that all possible measures will be taken to protect the children from becoming victims of all kinds of exploitation and aggression in Punjab.
She outlined that the provincial cabinet has approved the Child Protection Policy for the first time in Pakistan. Every institution, every law and every step of the Punjab government is aligned for the rights, protection and welfare of the children. She emphasised that a society that cannot guarantee and provide peace to the children can never achieve sustainable peace itself.
