Day isn’t far when Pakistan would become economically strong: President, PM

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – - President Dr Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan, in their separate messages on the occasion of Pakistan Day, have said the day is not far away when Pakistan would become an economically strong and prosperous country.

In his message, the President said the demand of a separate homeland for Muslims of the sub-continent has proved to be politically correct over time.

He said human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and persecution of minorities in India are sufficient grounds to believe that the Muslim leadership of that time had clearly visualised what was in store for the Muslims if they remained at the mercy of Hindu majority in undivided India.

In his message, the Prime Minister stressed the need to adhere to the principles of Unity, Faith and Discipline given by Quid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and to rededicate ourselves to development of Pakistan as a truly democratic welfare State on the model of Riyasat-e-Madina.

He said the incumbent government has brought in long-term reforms and initiatives to alleviate poverty and promote justice.

The Prime Minister said the government's focus remains on the marginalized segments of the society to provide them equal opportunities.
