She delivered a motivational lecture on “the duty of youth is to challenge the corruption” as part of campaign on awareness and prevention against corruption and proactive effort to encourage youth to identify and report corruption.
Aliya Rashid talked about the various forms of corruption and how they are damaging our society and reminded the Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s words that corruption is a poison and we must put it down with iron hand. While delivering lecture she said that nation belongs to its youth. “Young people are one of the most important agents of change in the fight against corruption. Youth have the power to change the social, political and economic dynamics that underlie a resigned acceptance of bribery and other forms of corruption.
