ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Pakistan in the past seven decades confronted multiple internal and external challenges with resilience.
The prime minister congratulated the entire nation on Independence Day and said the auspicious occasion is a moment to reaffirm our pledge to continue pursuing the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He stressed upon the nation to remain steadfast and embrace every challenge holding the torch of Unity, Faith and Discipline.
“During past seven decades of our journey, we have confronted with various challenges. We have battled against odds both at external as well as internal fronts. From the hostility of a neighbouring country, with its known hegemonic intentions, to the scourge of terrorism and from coping with natural calamities to fighting pandemics, our nation has always shown resilience and perseverance.,” said the prime minister.
PM Imran Khan said the day is an occasion to pay tribute to all those sons of the soil who laid their lives while defending and protecting territorial as well as ideological frontiers of the motherland.
The prime minister said the government is diligently working to provide a system of governance that conforms to the ideals and objectives of independence, and is endeavoring to build a system where rule of law prevails based on the State of Madinah as their role model.
The Prime Minister said, “While we celebrate this Independence Day, our hearts are profoundly grieved by the sufferings of our brethren in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir who are facing military siege since past one year.”
He said Pakistan would stand firmly with the Kashmiri brethren in their struggle for their right to self-determination and raise Kashmiris voice at all fora to sensitize the world about the threat to peace and security of the region posed by the supremacist RSS ideology pursued by the BJP government.
“I am confident that the struggle and resilience of brave Kashmiris will culminate into their inalienable right of self-determination,” he said. He prayed to Almighty Allah for the success of nation and Kashmiris.
