Prime Minister Imran Khan said the 23rd of March was a day for the country to reaffirm its commitment to the ideals of justice and equity, which he claimed were the true goals of Pakistan’s founding.
“Today, we pay respect to the Father of the Nation and all the leaders of the Freedom Movement who strived for the unity of the nation through their incomparable sacrifices,” he said in a message on Pakistan Day, March 23. It is critical for our youth to understand that Pakistan was born out of a lengthy democratic fight, and that hard work, honesty, and morality are now essential for its stability and progress.”
“While commemorating this day, we need to adhere to the principles of Unity, Faith, and Discipline given by Quid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and rededicate ourselves to develop Pakistan as a truly democratic welfare State on the model of Riyasat-e-Madina. On this day, it is pertinent to reflect upon the challenges confronting us as a nation. Our Government has brought in long-term reforms and initiatives to alleviate poverty and promote justice. Our focus remains on the marginalized segments of the society and to provide them equal opportunities. Kamyab Pakistan Program offers huge economic benefits for the youth, farmers, small-scale businesses, and the low-cost housing sector. Our flagship initiative of Qaumi Sehat Card will provide universal health coverage to all citizens, which is unprecedented in the history of our country.”
“We are now on the path to regain our past glory that was disrupted by previous regimes who gave importance to self-interests rather than national interest and welfare of the people. The struggle to eliminate corruption and improve moral standards would require the same persistence as our founding fathers persevered during the freedom movement,” he added.
‘I pray to Almighty Allah to bless us with the strength to follow in the footprints of our great forefathers,” the PM added.
