70,000 jobs for educated youth on internship basis
70,000 youths to get jobs on internship basis next month: Minister
Multan, Jan 03: Federal Minister for Youth Affairs Shahid Hussain Bhutto said here Monday that the PPP-led coalition government would provide jobs to 70,000 educated youth on internship basis next month.
Talking to mediapersons at the local airport the federal minister said that PPP has always given employment while some others de-employed them. He said that is why some 7,700 dismissed employees are being reinstated by the incumbent government.
He said all departments have been directed to announce their vaccancies and fill them urgently on merit so that unemployment could be minimised.
He said the PPP has a strong belief in democracy, that is why it has never destabilised any democratic government. However, he said, the party has been engaged in long struggle against dictatorial regimes over the decades. He said it were the PPP endeavours that Pervez Musharraf had to step down.
The federal minister for youth affairs said the party offered immense sacrifices for restoration of democracy and end of dictatorial era.
He said hundreds of its workers were martyred in this struggle and even their leader Shaheed Benazir Bhutto sacrificed her life for the revival of democratic order and independence of judiciary in the motherland.
To a question he said if the PML-N wants to stage "Long march" it is its democratic right. However, he added, 90 per cent judges have been restored.
He said some judges are not willing to take oath even under the 1973 Constitution. He said "we do not have any PCO but the Constitution".
Shahid Bhutto, to another question, said that the question of disqualification of Mian Nawaz Sharif and Mian Shahbaz Sharif is sub judice in the Supreme Court and it is unfair to predict that they are going to be disqualified.
He said the PPP believes in dialogue and does not favour confrontation within the coalition partners as any political destabilisation would be harmful for the nation and country.
He said the new youth policy has been formulated and the Prime Minister has constituted a task force to finalise it, which will be announced after approval by the federal cabinet within a month's time.
The federal minister announced in an upbeat mood that all applicants from Multan having done their masters with 25 years of age and below will get the internship employment. App
