Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said on Thursday that March 23 is an important day in the history of Pakistan when the Muslims of the subcontinent decided to have a separate homeland of their own.
In a message on Pakistan Day, the minister said that the Muslims were able to get their demand for an independent homeland accepted in a short period of seven years. "While celebrating this day, we need to follow the principles of unity, faith and discipline given by the founder of Pakistan Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah," he added.
Memon credited the Pakistan Peoples Party with giving Pakistan its current constitution, nuclear program and provincial autonomy to keep the country strong and united.
Memon said: "Our great nation has successfully overcome immense challenges in the past through unity and resilience. Today, let us renew our resolve to make Pakistan a progressive and prosperous state."
