The Muslims of the subcontinent followed the call of the Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the dream of a new homeland became a reality at a time when it seemed almost impossible to win it. Pakistan was created for lofty ideals. To win freedom was the first step in that direction.
The real freedom means achieving the goal of becoming a self-reliant nation – one that is able to guard her interests and promote her values. Freedom will really be freedom only when we follow the principles taught by our founding fathers and remain united in confronting the challenges the country faces in its move towards growth shared by all Pakistanis.
