Prime Minister Gilani advises media to favour educational issues over political

Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Monday asked media to expand their “sole craving for political issues” and focus more on highlighting educational and health issues. “You shouldn’t focus only on politicians, or when there will be new election, or who will be the new prime minister, or whether army chief will take over or not. Instead you should promote educational issues,” Gilani said while addressing the award-distribution ceremony of PM’s Entrepreneurial Challenge, at National University of Science and Technology here. The Prime Minister said education and health are the government’s top most priorities.
“It is immaterial that I remain here or not. It is our new generation which you should project and encourage,” he said directing to the media persons present on the occasion.
He hoped that in view of his advice, tomorrow’s newspapers would give prominence to the news of “my very own brilliant students” rather than highlighting the prime minister, opposition or the army chief.
