      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30322407/nations-protect-their-historical-heritage-identity-pm-shehbaz</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that nations protect their historical heritage and identity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He made these comments during his visit to the Radio Pakistan building, which was attacked by PTI supporters on May 9 after Imran Khan’s arrest in the Al-Qadir trust case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The enemy cannot look at Pakistan with a dirty eye till the Day of Judgment,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was accompanied by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Ghulam Ali, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, and Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said that on August 14, 1974, the independence of the country was announced by Radio Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“May 9 and 10 shocking incidents cause great shock to the people and a strong wave of anger spread all over Pakistan,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What sort of patriotism is this burning the historical and national heritage?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The memorial of Chaghi was turned into a pile of ashes, it was a masterpiece of our defense force,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that he appreciate the courage of the employees of Radio Pakistan, and announce the immediate payment of their wages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“On my way to Peshawar I had been informed that the employees had not received the wages for April and May… they would be paid within the next 48 hours,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shahbaz Sharif further said that there is no difference between the miscreants and terrorists of May 9, the miscreants will definitely be punished according to the law and the constitution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He lamented the way in which the historic structure was burned down during the May 9 protests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Nations protect their identity with their lives so that the coming generations can benefit from it…but here the archives were burned down,” he said while addressing the participants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the visit, he was briefed about the losses in the Radio Pakistan building.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to sources, the Prime Minister will also visit the Garrison Recreation Center, where the Martyrs’ Day celebration has been organized.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, he is also expected to visit the Governor House, where he will be briefed on the law and order situation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Prime Minister is likely to meet Ulema and provincial leaders at the Governor’s House.&lt;/p&gt;
