President, PM share special messages on Pakistan Day

On the occasion of Pakistan Day, President Dr Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan remarked in separate messages that the day will soon come when Pakistan will be economically powerful and successful, Radio Pakistan has reported.

The President further said that the desire for a separate homeland for Muslims in the subcontinent has shown to be politically correct over time.

Human rights violations in India’s illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, as well as persecution of minorities in India, he claims, are sufficient evidence that the Muslim leadership of the time foresaw what would happen to Muslims if they remained at the mercy of the Hindu majority in undivided India.

In his message, the Prime Minister emphasised the need of adhering to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s ideals of Unity, Faith, and Discipline, as well as rededicating ourselves to the establishment of Pakistan as a truly democratic welfare state based on the Riyasat-e-Madina model.

He claimed that the current administration had implemented long-term reforms and actions to reduce poverty and promote justice.

The Prime Minister stated that the government’s focus will continue to be on marginalised groups in society in order to give them equal chances.
