ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that as we celebrate Pakistan Day on Thursday and pay tribute to the sacrifices of our founding-fathers, we should not lose sight of the challenges staring us in the face.
In his message, the prime minister said that the challenges are topped by a combination of economic instability and the inability to settle the rules of the game.
The prime minister said that an environment of political chaos explains why we have failed to develop our economy on a sustainable basis. He said that Pakistan came into being as a result of political and constitutional struggle and its future lies in adhering to the Constitution in its letter and spirit.
“I have no doubt that Pakistan is destined to achieve great heights,” he said.
“However, he added, for this to become a reality, we have to forge unity in our ranks, equip ourselves with national purpose and vow to wage a struggle in line with the legacy of our forefathers.”
“Let us use this day to introspect and hold ourselves to account.”
The prime minister said that only those nations that are capable of analysing their past, learning from their mistakes and making amends can achieve true glory.
Furthermore, he said that the 23rd of March is an epoch-making day in our national history that reminds us of our past, invites us to ponder over our present state of affairs and inspires us to build a prosperous future.
Shahbaz Sharif said that as a member of the international community, Pakistan has played the role of a responsible nation in the resolution of problems facing humanity and the establishment of global peace.
