Independence Day celebrated: Govt determined to bring real democracy: Shahbaz

He further said every effort would be made for providing education to the young generation and urged the students to pledge that they would utilise all their energies for the development and prosperity of the country.

Editor-in-Chief Nawa-i-Waqt and The Nation, Majid Nizami addressing on the occasion said that Mian Brothers were trying their best to solve the problems inherited from the ex-government but being them in abundance they could not solve them especially the flour crises so far.

He was of the view that after the dream of an independent country by Allama Muhammad Iqbal, our leader Quaid-e-Azam snatched this piece of land from the Hindus and handed it over to us. He warned the Hindus were not happy over the formation of Pakistan from the day one as he wanted to form a great India and wanted to end the partition line.

At the end of his speech, he thanked the chief minister over not only allocating a piece of land for Aiwan-e-Nazria-e-Pakistan but also promising for the construction of its building. Nizami said he had no other purpose but to prepare a generation having knowledge of ideology of Pakistan through this trust.

Earlier he hoisted a national flag and later laid foundation stone of the project of Awain-e-Nazria-e-Pakistan along with the chief minister Punjab.

Vice-Chairman NPT Prof Dr Rafique Ahmad speaking on the occasion said our faith is based on Two-nation theory and Islam whereas some people are trying to extend friendship towards India.

He said Indian friendship could be well seen in Indian-held Kashmir where Indian army is oppressing innocent Kashmiri people and stopping people to go to Azad Kashmir by crossing the Line of Control.
