On the 83rd Pakistan Day, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that “political chaos” was the main reason for the country’s economic instability.
\nIn his message, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged the nation to pay tribute to the sacrifices of the country\u2019s founding fathers but not lose sight of the challenges staring the country in the face.
\n\u201cThe challenges are topped by a combination of economic instability and the inability to settle the rules of the game. An environment of political chaos explains why we have failed to develop our economy on a sustainable basis,\u201d said the PM.
\nThe premier said that for Pakistan to \u201cachieve great heights\u201d, the countrymen will \u201chave 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\u201d.
\n\u201cLet us use this day to introspect and hold ourselves to account. Only those nations that are capable of analysing their past, learning from their mistakes and making amends can achieve true glory,\u201d said PM Shehbaz.
\n‘Muslim leadership made a prudent decision’
\nIn his message on the occasion of Pakistan Day, President Arif Alvi said that the persecution of minorities, violation of human rights and brutalities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) prove that the Muslim leadership of that time made a prudent decision.
\n\u201cThis day also serves as a reminder to take stock of our successes and failures as a nation,\u201d said President Alvi.
\nHe added that Pakistan’s post-independence \u201cestablished state institutions\u201d, made the country\u2019s \u201cdefence impregnable, achieved nuclear deterrence, curbed terrorism, overcame the COVID-19 pandemic, and displayed the spirit of sacrifice and cooperation in the face of natural calamities\u201d.
\n\u201cWe still have a long way to go to ensure the rule of law, strengthen democracy, reduce inequalities in our society, empower women, provide the rights of persons with disabilities, eradicate terrorism and extremism, ensure the political and economic stability of the country, and protect the human rights of our citizens,\u201d said President Alvi.
