Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif delivered a moving message on World Refugee Day, emphasizing an important perspective on the plight of refugees. She stated that being a refugee is not a crime but a difficult necessity driven by circumstances beyond individuals’ control.
According to Maryam Nawaz, no one chooses to become a refugee voluntarily. Instead, people are compelled to leave their homes and native lands to safeguard their lives. She highlighted that:
- Wars and conflicts force individuals to flee to secure their safety.
- Refugees face numerous challenges and deserve empathy and support, not stigma and discrimination.
The Chief Minister’s address urged society to recognize the human aspect of displacement and encouraged greater understanding toward displaced populations worldwide. Her compassionate message calls for collective responsibility to support refugees who have been uprooted due to circumstances beyond their control.
