He said, “Pakistan comes first; everything else can follow.”
Engineer Amir Muqam said that by the grace of Allah Almighty, the political and military leadership, and the spirit of the armed forces, Pakistan achieved victory over a large country like India.
He congratulated the entire nation on this achievement, saying that a new Pakistan emerged on the world map after this battle of truth, and the green passport gained respect globally.
He praised Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, saying he is our pride for the way he defeated the enemy.
He said Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif made timely decisions in a war-like situation with the enemy. He claimed that Pakistan won this battle on land, air, and diplomatic fronts.
Engr Amir Muqam warned that the enemy is still looking for opportunities to attack Pakistan, but the coordination between PM Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, along with the spirit of the military and the public, will thwart all such attempts.
He added that the principled narrative of the civil and military leadership has succeeded globally, while Modi’s narrative has failed.
The Federal Minister strongly criticized PTI, stating that their claim that Pakistan’s civil and military leadership and people are not on the same page has failed.
He said that Pakistan’s dignity is upheld because of the unity between civil and military leadership.
Engineer Amir Muqam said that the PTI leadership has always lied to its workers, painting false dreams. He questioned PTI supporters, saying, “You were taken to Islamabad for Imran Khan’s release, but in tough times, where did your leader flee to in a helicopter?”
Addressing PTI workers, he claimed that PTI’s agenda has always been anti-Pakistan, but now the nation will reject this anti-Pakistan movement. He further criticized PTI’s policy regarding Imran Khan’s release, saying:
“Your agenda is against Pakistan. Imran Khan is facing cases in courts — go to court, fight your case. Don’t create confrontation. If he’s innocent, he will be freed.”
Addressing PTI, he urged them to strengthen the state instead of attacking it, and support law enforcement agencies. He reminded them that PTI ruled Khyber Pakhtunkhwa three times, but failed to deliver for the province and its people.
He said the youth in KP also want interest-free loans on merit, laptops, and development like in Punjab, but instead, the funds were misused. He declared that one day KP, under PML-N’s leadership, will progress and compete with Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan.
Engineer Amir Muqam also discussed his development projects in Shangla, especially in Puran, and assured the public that their remaining demands will soon be fulfilled.
Several local leaders also addressed the gathering, thanking the Federal Minister for launching multiple development projects in Aloch. They requested more development schemes and upgrades of existing ones, especially resolving the issue of low voltage electricity in Aloch on an urgent basis.
Earlier, on his arrival, a large number of people welcomed the Federal Minister with slogans in support of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Provincial President Engineer Amir Muqam.
The public presented him with flower garlands and thanked him for providing such an important facility in the remote district.
