He said that Quaid-e-Azam’s life was a clear reflection of respect for the rule of law and integrity. He saluted Quaid-e-Azam’s historic struggle for the political, social, and economic rights of the Muslims of the subcontinent. Through extraordinary hard work and unwavering determination, Quaid-e-Azam transformed the struggle for Pakistan into a well-organized mass movement.
Mohsin Naqvi stated that Quaid-e-Azam united Muslims on a single platform and turned the dream of an independent Muslim state into reality. He said that Quaid-e-Azam presented a clear vision of a state founded on law, equality, and religious freedom.

Thanks to Quaid-e-Azam, Pakistanis today breathe freely in an independent homeland, a debt that can never be repaid. Quaid-e-Azam’s golden principles teach that the path to progress lies through honesty, self-accountability, and national unity.
