March 23, 1940 was a landmark day. It marked one of the unforgettable events that eventually led to the creation of our beloved country Pakistan.
Almost eight decades ago, thousands of Muslims from all over the subcontinent gathered in Lahore in pursuit of their identity as a nation with mutual vision, collective mission and common dream. Every year, this day is celebrated throughout the country with national enthusiasm and spirit to commemorate the adoption of the Pakistan Resolution by the All-India Muslim League in 1940 at the historical Minto Park Lahore.
Under the dynamic leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah and other founding leaders, the real quest for an independent homeland started on March 23, 1940.
We, as a nation, should not observe the day as a means to celebrate our eccentricity with national integrity and pride but it is a day to renew our faith in the basic principals of our of forefathers and to revive the spirit of the Quaid-e-Azam’s motto: Unity, faith and discipline.
Believing that the youth is the future of our country, it is therefore their duty to devote themselves to the cause of education in order to become proud and responsible citizens of our country. They must value this freedom. The day demands of us to revive the spirit of the Pakistan movement in its entirety and to act upon on our Quaid’s maxims.
“Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope others will share with us.”
Though miles away from our beloved homeland, residing in the fort of Islam, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; we share similar customs, religious values and rich cultures. It is these shared values that have cemented ties between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
To push our country to the zenith of magnificence, we must not only work for the progress of our country but also for the betterment of Saudi Arabia, as both the brotherly countries are source of strength for each other.
On this day of commitment, I extend my heartfelt felicitation to all Pakistanis across the globe and express my gratitude to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman for standing by us not only in the moments of happiness but also in times of trial and tribulations. May Almighty Allah enable us to protect both the countries and guide us to work toward their progress and prosperity.
