On this count, the 23rd of March bears historical importance in our national life. It was the Day when Muslims of Indian Sub-continent in 1940 took the historic decision to become an independent nation. The fact that they achieved the desired goal within a short span of seven years time, reflects the level of their commitment, spirit, determination, the firm belief in their principled stand and above all the magnitude of force they derived from their internal unity and capabilities of leadership in making their struggle a success. Today, when, we as a nation, are engaged in the hectic struggle to earn a better future for the coming generations, the situation on ground is full of challenges. The ongoing efforts to further cement our national strength and to make best use of all available resources and opportunities, both in our individual and collective capacities, there is also a need to maintain complete unity in our ranks and files. I congratulate the countrymen, in general, and the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA, in particular, on this auspicious occasion and urge them to be more conscious of their roles and responsibilities as responsible citizens. We must continue our endeavours to ensure development and prosperity of the nation in line with the dreams of heroes of Independence Movement who sacrificed their present for the better future of us all and the coming generations.
