On Tuesday, the National Minority Commission Act 2024 was adopted by the federal cabinet.

An eight-point agenda was discussed at a federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad, which was presided over by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

There were presentations of the Rightsizing Committee’s recommendations regarding federal institutions. There was also discussion about combining the Narcotics Division with the Ministry of Interior and putting the Aviation Division under the Ministry of Defense.

Decisions made by the preceding Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) meeting were approved by the government.

Speaking at the gathering, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged proactive measures to tackle the issues facing the education system.

“This will be a major national service,” he said, urging the Education Minister to work closely with the provinces to promote education.

The prime minister noted that the bulk of Pakistan’s 22.8 million unschooled children are girls.

The prime minister called the restart of PIA flights to Europe a significant accomplishment. In order to simplify travel for Pakistani passengers, he expressed optimism that flights to Britain would also restart.

Shehbaz Sharif announced the opening of a new crossing point at Panjgur on the Pakistan-Iran border, claiming it will encourage lawful trade and aid in the fight against smuggling. He praised Iran for helping to open the new crossing point.

The prime minister was pleased to see Kurram’s situation return to normal. According to him, the region was receiving food supplies and medications. “I am confident that all parties involved will work together to maintain peace,” he said.

According to the prime minister, the security forces are still fighting terrorists. In Balochistan, he claimed, 27 terrorists were killed in an intelligence-based operation.

He paid homage to security personnel’s sacrifices, saying they would live on in memory. He pledged to eradicate Fitna al Khwarij completely and emphasized that peace would be restored in the nation, just as it had been in 2018 under Nawaz Sharif’s leadership.
