Islamabad, The Gulf Observer: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, in his message on the 77th death anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, paid homage to his unparalleled leadership and tireless struggle that led to the creation of Pakistan.

In a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, Shehbaz Sharif said the entire nation salutes Quaid-e-Azam’s political vision and statesmanship, which paved the way for an independent homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent despite immense challenges.

The Prime Minister highlighted Jinnah’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the political, religious, economic, and cultural rights of Muslims, noting that his efforts culminated in the formation of Pakistan, the world’s first Islamic ideological state.

Recalling the hardships faced during Partition, including mass migration, limited resources, and administrative hurdles, Shehbaz Sharif said Quaid-e-Azam nevertheless laid the foundation of a strong Pakistan and inspired the nation with courage and resilience.

Calling for renewed national resolve, the Prime Minister urged the people to embrace Quaid’s guiding principles of faith, unity, and discipline. “Making Pakistan a developed nation and a true Islamic welfare state requires collective national effort. It is also our responsibility to pass on Quaid’s teachings and vision to future generations,” he stressed.

Concluding his message, Shehbaz Sharif prayed for the elevation of Quaid-e-Azam’s soul and for the strength of the Pakistani nation to remain steadfast on the path laid down by its founding leader.
