The current situation of our country shows that we have failed to understand this message
ISLAMABAD: Faith, Unity and Discipline is considered to be the national motto of Pakistan. Jinnah imparted this message not only for the people of his time but also for those of the future. However, the current situation of our country shows that we have failed to understand this message. Unity means all Pakistanis should be united without having any kind of bias related to language, region, caste and creed. Faith means you should start struggling for goodness at your end, and must have strong faith in Allah. Discipline means you are obligated to follow the rules and regulations that are created by the law.
We have sadly been unsuccessful to understand the true meaning that led to independence. On the birthday of Mohammad Ali Jinnah we can aim to help our country progress again. Only if we truly establish this motto in our country, we are not far away in making Pakistan a peaceful and successful state. We all not only thank Jinnah but other national heroes who sacrificed their lives for us.
