‘Quaid’s principles guiding light’

Various functions highlight Jinnah’s ideology

LAHORE: The 144th birth anniversary of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was celebrated across Punjab, on Wednesday, with traditional zeal and renewed commitment to make Pakistan a progressive and prosperous country as per the vision of the father of the nation.

Various functions, photo exhibitions and debating competitions were held across the province to highlight Jinnah’s ideology, particularly with regard to rule of law, supremacy of the Constitution and upholding of democracy. The national flag was hoisted on principle government buildings.

Punjab Governor Chuadhry Mohammad Sarwar highlighted that meticulous and charismatic personality, like Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, was born in thousands of years. Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, was committed to make new Pakistan as Jinnah’s Pakistan.

“We need to follow the Quaid’s principles of ‘unity, faith and discipline’ to strengthen the nation and to foil enemies’ conspiracies,” he said. “We have to renew our pledge for transforming Pakistan into Quaid’s Pakistan. Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had faith in the supremacy of the law and justice and today his political sagacity proved that ‘Two Nations Theory’ was absolutely right,” he stressed.

Speaking to the 75th annual session of Pakistan Engineering Congress (PEC) and later speaking to media, Sarwar said institutions have been strengthened through merit and stoppage of political interference.
