Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that Karachi holds the unique distinction of being the city where Quaid-e-Azam raised the flag of Pakistan, and this moment will always remain a source of pride for us. He said that today we must renew our pledge to adopt the golden principles of Quaid-e-Azam and lead Pakistan on the path of progress and prosperity.
He expressed these views while offering fateha (prayers) at the Mausoleum of the Founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, on the occasion of his 77th death anniversary, on behalf of the citizens of Karachi. On this occasion, Municipal Commissioner of Karachi Metropolitan Corporation S.M. Afzal Zaidi, City Council Parliamentary Leader Karamullah Waqasi, Deputy Parliamentary Leader Dil Muhammad, Jumman Darwan, and KMC officers were also present.
Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that Quaid-e-Azam’s message is a beacon of light for us, by which we must determine our path. Today, it is imperative that we unite and struggle to establish a peaceful, prosperous, and strong Pakistan in line with Quaid-e-Azam’s vision. Quaid-e-Azam always urged the youth to pursue education, unity, and discipline, and today it is our responsibility to follow these guiding principles to build a stable and developed country. The survival and security of Pakistan lie in adhering to Quaid-e-Azam’s ideology and vision.
He further said that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is one of the greatest leaders in world history, who, despite extremely unfavorable conditions, utilized his political foresight and leadership abilities to secure a separate homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent. Quaid-e-Azam, with sincerity and tireless struggle, fought for the establishment of a free state to safeguard the political and religious rights, economic and social development, and cultural identity of the Muslims of the subcontinent. Almighty Allah granted success to this struggle under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam, and the Muslims were blessed with the independent state of Pakistan.
He said that the creation of Pakistan holds a unique and distinguished place in history as it was the first Islamic ideological state on the world map. To include Pakistan among developed nations and achieve the true objective of becoming an Islamic welfare state, collective efforts of the entire nation are required. He emphasized that conveying the teachings and guidance of Quaid-e-Azam to future generations of Pakistan is also our collective responsibility.
