The Senate’s Standing Committee on Defense Chairman Mushahid Hussain Sayed, who represents the Federal Capital in the Senate, held a Christmas-New Year’s Party in honor of sanitation workers at the E-7 Park on Wednesday, which was attended by about 150 persons.
Lauding the hard work, role, and contribution of sanitary workers to keep Islamabad ‘clean and green’, he said, “You are the real VIPs. Given your honesty, dedication, and hard work, we are proud of you.” He also awarded shields of appreciation to two retiring sanitary workers: Yaqoob Masih, who served for 42 years, and Saifur Rahman, who served for 38 years. Talking to the media, Senator Mushahid said that Islamabad was a city of the elites, where the ‘VIP culture’ was prevalent and only VIPs were acknowledged or honored.
However, he wanted to set a different example by “honoring our unsung heroes, the poor, underclass members of the Christian community, who are the weakest and most oppressed section of Pakistani society.”.
He said the sanitary workers were the real VIPs, who did not hold any high office but served selflessly, beyond the call of duty, at meager salaries, and “it is because of them that our city (Islamabad) is clean and beautiful.”
He said,We must uphold the Quaid-e-Azam’s vision of equality for all Pakistanis, irrespective of religion, caste, or creed, and respect the national flag, where the white color honors non-Muslim Pakistanis.” Last year too, Senator Mushahid arranged a similar function in honor of Manzoor Masih, a retiring sanitary worker, and other members of the CDA sanitation staff.The head of the CDA Labour Union, Chaudhry Yasin, and Senator Fawzia Arshad also participated in the function.
