Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif delivered a powerful message on World Refugee Day, emphasizing that being a refugee is not a crime but a harsh necessity. She stated, “No one becomes a refugee by choice. People are forced to leave their homes and land to save their lives.”
Maryam Nawaz Sharif highlighted the painful reality that:
- War and conflict drive people to seek refuge.
- These crises eventually end, but the impact on displaced individuals lasts much longer.
Her statement calls for greater understanding and support for refugees, recognizing their struggles and the involuntary nature of their displacement. The Chief Minister’s remarks underline the importance of compassion and humanitarian efforts toward refugees in Punjab and beyond.
