Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Thursday said that Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah\u2019s relentless struggle for an independent Pakistan and unwavering commitment to his principles are a beacon of light for the youth.
\nQuaid-i-Azam never compromised on his values throughout his life, said the minister while addressing the ceremony titled \u201cQuaid Ka Pakistan \u2013 Uraan Pakistan\u201d held at the Convention Center.
\nThe event was also attended by Federal Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Tariq Fatemi, and other dignitaries.
\nThe Minister emphasized that such platforms help foster the understanding of the Quaid\u2019s life, vision, and principles for the public.
\nHe noted that Jinnah\u2019s three golden principles\u2014Unity, Faith, and Discipline\u2014were the foundation of his success.
\nTarar recounted that at age 16, Jinnah went to London for an apprenticeship and eventually decided to choose a legal profession as a career. He chose Lincoln\u2019s Inn to become a barrister, the minister added.
\nHistorians note his choice for Lincoln\u2019s Inn was inspired by the fact that the name of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was included in its list of the world\u2019s greatest lawgivers.<\/p>\n
At just 19, Jinnah became the youngest barrister from the subcontinent, he said, adding that the life of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah teaches us that the impossible can be made possible through determination, faith, and continuous hard work.
\nHe said that Quaid-i-Azam made intense struggle and diligence his hallmark. He added that the next phase of his life as a jurist and politician was built upon two fundamental pillars\u2014principles and professional competence.
\nHe further noted that Quaid-i-Azam left the Congress due to fundamental differences in principles. At that time, what the Congress intended to do was not acceptable to the Quaid, he added.
\nThe minister urged the youth to study the 1908 Pherozeshah Mehta case, which established Jinnah\u2019s reputation as a brilliant legal mind.
\nReflecting on the current geopolitical climate, Attaullah Tarar highlighted a recent incident in India where a woman\u2019s hijab was pulled, describing it as a manifestation of extremist Hindutva ideology.
\n\u201cThis is not just the desecration of one woman; it is an insult to women worldwide. Today, the Hindutva ideology continues to prove Quaid-i-Azam\u2019s Two-Nation Theory correct. Every passing day strengthens our belief in this theory, which remains the foundation of our independence,\u201d the Minister stated.
\nThe minister reminded the audience that Pakistan was founded on the slogan of \u201cLa Ilaha Illallah\u201d and that the nation\u2019s current standing\u2014 soft power and defense capabilities\u2014is recognized globally.
\nHe concluded by saying that the \u201cPakistan Zindabad\u201d slogan, first raised by the Quaid in 1940 at an All India conference, continues to provide hope and courage to the nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
