Mohammed Yasir of Gujrat and Shabbir Ahmed of Lalamoosa succumbed to their injuries on Saturday night.
CONDITION: PML-Q MPA Qazi Mohammed Asad has said that to strengthen the democratic norms and sifting out a true leadership through electoral process, it should be made mandatory for voters to be at least a matric certificate holder.
Speaking at a function organized by Sarhad Degree College of Commerce, Haripur, the MPA said that the condition of being matriculate for LB members and those of parliamentarians as graduate had been a laudable step.
He said that though the educated people of the urban areas voted on the basis of their ideology or personal likes and dislikes, the uneducated or illiterate voters in the rural areas were inspired by old traditions of Biradriism, which resultantly had detrimental effects on the results.
Qazi Asad said that standard education was the only tool to steer the country out of present socio-political morass.
He also promised to facilitate coordination between the Hattar Industrial Estate and Sarhad Degree College of Commerce for internship of students.
Earlier, College’s principal Sheeraz Ahmed Khan presented the annual performance of the institute.
Students also presented skits on this occasion.
