Summary Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif issued message on the 140th birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - In his message on the 140th birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that Muhammad Ali Jinnah united the scattered Muslims under a single flag in his struggle for establishment of an independent Muslim state on the map of the world.

“Even today, he is a source of inspiration and guidance for us all, which is because of his exemplary character and exceptional leadership qualities,” the premier said.

He noted that Quaid-e-Azam’s determination and unshakeable will power emboldened the Muslims to continue their struggle for achieving their objective and boldly confront all difficulties for the great cause.

“Under his dynamic leadership and by following Quaid’s ideals of Unity, Faith and Discipline, the Muslims after rendering matchless sacrifices achieved their collective goal. Quaid’s determination and integrity endeared him to millions of people who supported him in the struggle for creation of Pakistan. It was his nobility and strength of character which became a true source of inspiration and guidance for the Muslims of the Sub-continent. He was respected, even by his opponents, for his uprightness, honesty, integrity and conviction. He was a man of principles and his conduct was above reproach,” stated Nawaz Sharif.

He urged nation to follow the principles of Quaid-e-Azam, which would be an apt tribute to him.

“We can pay real homage to the memory of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah by reaffirming our abiding faith in his teachings,” he said.

The Prime Minister stressed the need to forge unity in our ranks to defeat the forces of extremism and uphold the principles of democracy, peaceful coexistence and rule of law.
