PR No.124 Minister for Information & Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz’s Message on 74th Independence Day
Islamabad: August 13, 2020

I congratulate my countrymen on 74th Independence Day. Pakistan appeared on the World Map on 14th August 1947 as an Independent Country for which our elders and forefathers made great sacrifices. However, now it is upto us to present Pakistan as a strong, developed and progressive country to the community of nations and to mould this country according to the dreams of its founding leaders Quaid –e- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Muhamad Iqbal. Our great leader Quaid –e- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah presented the idea of democratic and progressive Pakistan based on harmony and strived for rule of law, discipline and supremacy of democratic norms . While celebrating Independence Day we must remember our suppressed kashmiri brethren who have been deprived of their right to self determination and are facing the cruelty of occupant army. We warn India on this occasion that she will not be able to stop the freedom struggle of the Kashmiris who have been under siege for over one year through its illegal actions. Whole Pakistani nation is ready to make sacrifices for the suppressed Kashmiris. We will expose malafide Indian intentions and will get the right of self determination for the kashmiris and the first important step towards this grand objective is the inclusion of Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir in Pakistan’s Political Map as an integral part of Pakistan by Prime Minister, Imran Khan. On this day we also reiterate our commitment with Kashmiris and ensure them that Pakistan will continue their political moral and diplomatic support. We are faced with many challenges and Covid-19 has been the foremost challenge which has badly impacted our national health, economy, education and other walks of life. However despite all difficulties the Government and the people have not only fought against this international pandemic but have managed to control through following SOP’s. Alhumdulilah, the covid-19 impact on our country is much less as compare to other developed and prosperous countries. Prime Minister, Imran Khan supported the poor segments of the society during this pandemic through Ehsaas Cash Support Program and establishment of Shelters. Allah has blessed Pakistan with all kinds of resources. Our youth is full of courage, potential and patriotism. They know that only through following Quaid-e-Azam’s principles of Unity, Faith and Discipline, they will be able to overcome challenges and difficulties. We have to promote a thinking through our education system, media and religious clergy which practically represents the Ideology of Pakistan and promotes peace, harmony and development in the world. Today we resolve to make Pakistan a strong vibrant and developed nation where there will be no injustice torture lawlessness and no poverty. On this day, let us renew our faith in making Pakistan a developed prosperous and equitable country.
“Pakistan Zindabad”
