Govt to complete construction of Faiz Ahmad Faiz library: Senate informed

Minister for Federal Education Shafqat Mehmood says government will complete construction of Faiz Ahmad Faiz library despite its meagre resources.

Responding to a calling attention notice in the Senate, the Minister said the decision to construct the said library was made in 2011 and a piece of land had been allocated for the purpose at F-10 sector of Islamabad. Initially, a sum of 370 million rupees was allocated for this project which was later revised to 460 million rupees.

The calling attention notice was moved by Senator Ateeq Sheikh of MQM.

Senator Mushahidullah Khan of PML-N submitted a privileged motion against the Information Minister on levelling unfounded allegations against him on the floor of National Assembly on Thursday. The Chairman said that the matter will be further discussed in his chamber.
