The 145th birth anniversary of Pakistan’s founder Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is being celebrated across the country today (Saturday).
Several programs have been selected to highlight the guiding principles of unity, faith, and discipline.
The government announced a holiday on Saturday.
Khwani Quran will be held at Mazar-e-Quaid in Karachi and a Changing of the Guard ceremony will also be held at Mazar-e-Quaid.
Various cultural organizations and educational institutions created different programs to highlight the life and political achievements of the great leader.
In a massage given on the eve of the 145th birthday of the father of the nation Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Prime Minister Imran Khan said Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah made history by carving out a new state by the force of his wisdom, firmness, uprightness and statism.
“The great Quaid envisioned Pakistan as an independent homeland for Muslims from the subcontinent, where they could live their lives according to their religious and cultural beliefs,” added Imran Khan.
The PM recalled that Quaid imagined that Pakistan would be a country where democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights would prevail, adding that his dream of Pakistan was a country where there would be no discrimination based on caste, creed or religion and where all citizens would enjoy equal rights, he added.
“On this auspicious day, we must commit ourselves and resolve to work wholeheartedly and with dedication to build a strong and prosperous Pakistan,” urged the PM.
The prime minister said that patriotism, hard work and selfless service to Pakistan’s greatest glory could be the most fitting tribute to the memory of Quaid-e-Azam.
