He said that when people from all walks of life including politics and journalism would do their job honestly, no power in the world would be able to stop Pakistan from moving forward.
Later, talking to the media, the governor said that Federal and provincial governments were not afraid of the opposition. He said it was not the first time that the opposition parties had announced staging protest against the government, adding that the opposition parties, including Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, had staged a long march and protest in the past, but they failed to achieve their goals.

Electoral reforms were necessary for fair and transparent elections, and the opposition should play its role in this regard, he added.
The governor said that crimes against Indian Muslims had risen, since Narendra Modi had come to power. He said that Indian government, police and all organisations were fully supporting the terrorist organisation RSS, that was targeting Muslims, adding that the terrorism being committed by the India in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir was in front of everyone. He urged the international human rights bodies including the United Nations to take stern notice in this regard.
