On the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan paid tribute to Pakistan’s founder, emphasizing his enduring vision for a free, just, and sovereign nation.

The minister underscored Jinnah’s commitment to religious freedom, equality, and constitutional supremacy.

Abdul Aleem Khan described Quaid-e-Azam as a unifier who held the hands of Muslims and guided them toward freedom and a distinct identity. He highlighted that Jinnah’s leadership was driven not by personal gain but by the long-term welfare and security of future generations.

“The Father of the Nation was a champion of religious freedom, rule of law, constitutional supremacy, and equality,” the minister said, reaffirming Jinnah’s principles as foundational for Pakistan’s progress.

Guiding principles for nation

According to Abdul Aleem Khan, the Quaid’s policies were rooted in principles and never compromised on the fundamental rights of Muslims. He noted that Pakistan today stands as a free and sovereign country thanks to Jinnah’s unwavering leadership.

“Following the guiding principles of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is essential for Pakistan to move forward and achieve prosperity,” the minister added, stressing the importance of adopting these ideals in governance and public life.
