WNAM REPORT: Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs, Gilgit-Baltistan, and President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Engineer Amir Maqam visited Swabi yesterday. Prominent PML-N politician and former member of the provincial assembly, Babar Saleem, warmly welcomed the federal minister. Both leaders met the family of martyr child Iqtidar, who lost his life in the recent Swabi blast, and offered condolences.
Amir Maqam comforted the grieving family, stating, “In this moment of sorrow, we stand with you. I will speak to Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif regarding your financial assistance.” Following this, Amir Maqam, along with Babar Saleem, visited the Swabi Hospital to meet those injured in the blast and prayed for their swift recovery. The medical superintendent and other officials were also present during the visit.
The federal minister directed the hospital administration to take special care of the injured and provide them with all possible medical treatment. It is noteworthy that Amir Maqam’s visit to Swabi won the hearts of the local populace, as he has never contested elections here, nor is it his hometown. He is dedicated to serving the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and ensures his presence during such critical times.
The country needs leaders like him who remain committed to public service both before elections and after being elected.
