ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan on Monday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has fulfilled another of promises made with the Sikh community as he laid the foundation stone of Baba Guru Nanak University in Nankana Sahib.
Awan said that the “seed of interfaith harmony sown by the premier in the form of Kartarpur Corridor will become a shadowy tree of tolerance for followers of different religions”.
Following the inauguration ceremony, the prime minister will embark on a day-long visit to Lahore where he will preside over meetings on health reforms, Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme and law and order situation.
He will also be briefed on Medical Teaching Institutions (Reforms) Ordinance, 2019. According to the MTI Ordinance, promulgated last week, the government-owned hospitals shall be run by fully empowered Board of Governors (BoGs) which shall consist of all members from the private sector.
“The BoGs shall also have powers for the appointment of admin officials on key slots and appointment of senior faculty members. The post of principal shall be converted into Dean who shall be appointed by the BoG for a period of five years,” a press release had said at the time.
