PM urges nation to make Pak a progressive, tolerant and prosperous state as envisioned by founding fathers
October 15, 2017
Islamabad: Oct 15 (INP) Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has urged the nation to reaffirm our pledge to follow the footsteps of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Shaheed-e-Millat Liaquat Ali Khan and to work tirelessly and selflessly to make Pakistan a progressive, tolerant, prosperous and secure nation as envisioned by our founding fathers. In a message on the death anniversary of Shaheed e Millat Liaquat Ali Khan, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi paid tributes to the late leader for his invaluable services to the Muslims of the Subcontinent during the Pakistan Movement and later to the young Pakistani nation as the country’s first Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said a trusted friend and companion of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Liaquat Ali Khan was as self-effacing as he was resolute. After Quaid-e-Azam’s demise, his leadership played a critical role in strengthening the nascent state, which was beset by numerous predicaments, including bitter hostility from India. It was during his tenure as Prime Minister that the foundation of Pakistan’s time–tested and time-honored friendship with China was laid, he said. INP/AH
