Prime
Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Monday urged the District
Information Secretaries of Pakistan People’s Party to promote vision
and policies of their government. Speaking on the occasion of distribution of certificates among District Information Secretaries of PPP here at Prime Minister House, he said the party office-bearers should inform the public about the government’s policies to alleviate poverty, curb price hike and improve law and order.He said the PPP has numerous achievements to its credit including restoration of the Constitution and passing of 18th and 19th constitutional amendments.
The PPP is a federal party with
roots in the four provinces, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan besides
branches in foreign countries, he added.
Twenty-seven District Information Secretaries of Pakistan People’s Party hailing from all parts of Pakistan took part in the seven-day summer training course on Political Communication and Media Management.
During the training in the federal capital, the PPP office bearers met ministers, leading politicians and media personalities and took briefings on achievements of successive PPP governments.
Gilani said he worked with Shaheed Benazir Bhutto for more than 20 years and she always wished that the decisions of the government, cabinet and party should be communicated at the grassroots level.
The Prime Minister said information was a powerful tool in today’s world and the information secretaries should equip themselves with the latest technology to keep informed the public about the latest developments and decisions of the government and the PPP’s Central Executive Committee (CEC).
The PPP will hold more training programmes for its office-bearers, who will be facilitated to attend proceedings and watch debates of Senate, National Assembly and provincial assemblies, he added.
The Prime Minister assured that he would talk to the party’s provincial presidents for provision of offices, computers and equipment to the information secretaries and office-bearers.
Gilani said,” women, who are more than 50 per cent of the population, should be included in the future training programmes of the party”.
The government has made laws to protect rights of women, allocated 10 per cent job quota for them and gave them financial assistance through Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), he added.
He said five per cent development grants of the parliamentarians would be used on the recommendations of the party workers, who would identify schemes in their areas.
He said the party’s office bearers would be sent abroad with delegations to learn from the experiences of other countries.
He congratulated the PPP for holding such a unique training course and said these courses should make workers familiar on subjects like Pakistan’s nuclear policy and relations with US, Afghanistan and other countries.
Central Secretary Information PPP Qamar Zaman Kaira said after getting training, the PPP office bearers would be in a better position to communicate the party’s message to people.
He said more such courses would be held and other political parties would be encouraged to train their cadres as it would help the ongoing process of political reconciliation and further the cause of political stability.
