Honoring Sacrifices: A Job Quota for Families of Pakistan Army Martyrs
In a heartfelt tribute to the heroes who have laid down their lives for the nation, the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly made a significant decision this past Friday. They unanimously approved a resolution to allocate a special quota in government jobs for the families of Pakistan Army martyrs. This initiative not only acknowledges the supreme sacrifices of these brave individuals but also aims to provide sustainable support for their loved ones.
The resolution was introduced by Minister for Interior Shamsul Haq Lone and later endorsed by key figures such as the Minister for Science and Technology, Suraiya Zaman. The assembly’s decision is an important step towards recognizing the immense contributions of the armed forces, particularly those from Gilgit-Baltistan, who have selflessly defended our country’s integrity and sovereignty.
During the session, numerous family members of the fallen soldiers were present in the gallery, showcasing the assembly’s deep respect for their sacrifices. Members across the political spectrum voiced their support, with a collective agreement evident from both the treasury and opposition benches. For many, this resolution symbolizes a much-needed sense of recognition and respect for the families who carry the legacy of their loved ones.
The Assembly has urged the Gilgit-Baltistan government to implement this workforce allocation under the Army Shuhada Family Assistance Package. This move aims to ensure transparency, meritocracy, and a dignified approach to employment opportunities for the martyrs’ families.
Speaker Nazir Ahmed Advocate highlighted the importance of these brave individuals, referring to them as "the pride and most precious asset of the nation." The emotional gravity of the discussions underlines not just a policy change but a heartfelt commitment to honoring those who have paid the ultimate price for our safety.
In a moving end to the session, lawmakers took the time to meet with the families of the martyrs, reinforcing the message that their sacrifices will always be remembered and respected. This resolution is not just a bureaucratic step; it is a promise to the families left behind, ensuring that they are not forgotten.
