Pakistan HC in New Delhi celebrates Pakistan Day with patriotic fervor
New Delhi: Pakistan High Commission (HC) in New Delhi celebrated Pakistan Day with patriotic fervor today (March 23).
According to Kashmir Media Service, Chargé d’Affaires of Pakistan High Commission Saad Ahmad Warraich hoisted the national flag on the Chancery lawn.
On this occasion, messages from President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, and Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar were read out.
Saad Ahmad Warraich on the occasion said the Lahore Resolution of March 23, 1940 proved to be a milestone for the Muslims of the subcontinent in their struggle for a separate homeland.
He said, “Under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, this collective movement found expression in the establishment of Pakistan within a short period of seven years.”
Saad Ahmad Warraich further said, “We pay tribute to the martyrs of the Pakistan Movement; their sacrifices are a beacon for the entire nation in preserving the invaluable gift of freedom and in making sincere efforts for national development and prosperity.”
“Looking at India today, the monster of Hindutva is a living example of the foresight of our ancestors. History teaches us that only those nations truly remain free who have the ability to defend their freedom,” he remarked.
He said the battle for truth once again renewed the nation’s collective resolve for the defence of the homeland. “The entire world is a witness to Pakistan’s unwavering determination to protect its sovereignty and defend its freedom,” he added.
Appreciating the role of the brave armed forces in defending the homeland, Saad Ahmad Warraich said that Pakistan’s established deterrence is not only a cause of stability in South Asia but also guarantees regional peace.
He believed that peaceful relations between Pakistan and India can only be established on the basis of equality, mutual respect, and the peaceful resolution of all disputes.
“The goal of lasting peace and stability in South Asia can only be achieved through a just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people”, he concluded.
