President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif have also paid rich tribute to Quaid-e-Azam, highlighting his visionary leadership, constitutional struggle and tireless efforts for the rights of Muslims of the subcontinent that led to the creation of Pakistan.
In their separate messages, the President and Prime Minister emphasised the importance of following the principles and ideals of the country’s founding leader.
President Asif Ali Zardari said Quaid-e-Azam’s principles of unity, discipline, constitutional continuity, equality before law and democratic processes continued to provide guidance to the nation in overcoming present-day challenges.
He called upon the people, particularly the youth, to follow Quaid-e-Azam’s example of courage, perseverance and confidence and work for a stronger, peaceful and prosperous Pakistan.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the best way to pay tribute to Quaid-e-Azam’s enduring legacy was to work collectively for national unity, social harmony and economic stability.
He said joint efforts were needed to build a country that truly reflected the vision, ideals and principles of the great leader and could be proudly passed on to future generations.
A special Quran Khawani and Fateha ceremony will be held at the Quaid-e-Azam’s mausoleum in Karachi to commemorate his death anniversary.
Educational institutions and political, social and cultural organisations have also arranged various programmes highlighting Quaid-e-Azam’s life, leadership and role in the creation of Pakistan.
