ISLAMABAD:

Prime Minister Imran Khan and President Arif Alvi, on the occasion of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s 145th birth anniversary, urged the nation to follow in the footsteps of the great leader in all walks of life as an effort to make Pakistan a strong and prosperous country.

Prime Minister Imran, in his message, said: “Let us live the Quaid’s ideals of Unity, Faith and Discipline with a renewed national spirit so that we make this country rise above all seen and unseen challenges”.

He added that Jinnah had a firm faith in God and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which guided him through a long journey comprising of ordeals, deceptions and dejections but culminating in grandeur, décor and eternity.

President Arif Alvi said that we [the people] should reaffirm our commitment to building a state that respects the diversity of its masses and provide equal opportunities to its citizens irrespective of their religion, caste, creed or colour.

“On this day, we must also remember the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, who are being subjected to the worst kind of state-terrorism for over seven decades,” the president added.

Various activities would be held in government and private organizations to highlight Quaid-e-Azam’s lifelong political struggle and his guiding principles of unity, faith and discipline.

Recitation of the Holy Quran would also be held at the Mazar-e-Quaid in Karachi while a change of guard’s ceremony would also take place.
