Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar congratulates the nation on the auspicious Independence Day of Pakistan.
Chief Minister expressed these views during a flag hoisting ceremony organized at Hazoori Bagh on the eve of Independence Day. “Independence Day is a thanksgiving day and is also a day to reiterate our firm commitment and resolve. We express our profound gratitude to Allah Almighty for blessing us with countless bounties and also with all kinds of blessings in abundance.”
The Chief Minister said that this Independence Day is of profound importance in this respect that the Indian oppression in Indian occupied Kashmir has reached its utmost level and by revoking the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, Modi government has proved its indelible obduracy. We attribute our Independence Day to the everlasting and exemplary freedom struggle of our oppressed Kashmiri brothers and sisters today. Kashmir cannot become complete without Pakistan and Pakistan is also part and parcel of Kashmir. I repeat the words of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on this occasion that “Kashmir is jugular vein of Pakistan” No power of this world can separate Kashmir from Pakistan. The same enthusiasm and fervour displayed during Pakistan Movement is inevitably required in order to achieve independence of occupied Kashmir. The whole nation is passing through similar phase of trials and tribulations after 1947. We will have to unite once again by overlooking our personal differences today. We will have to bear in mind such conditions which are mandatory on us to repay to our dear homeland along with celebrating Independence Day. We will have to become good citizens and good Pakistanis and for achieving this objective we have to abide by all the laws and rules of the land.
CM also pays glowing tributes to Pakistan Army for rendering exemplary sacrifices for protection of country
He said that with the grace of Allah Almighty seven decades have passed since Pakistan came into existence and the nation is treading on its path of progress and prosperity smoothly. Officers and jawans of our army are standing steadfast like a solid rock and are guarding the frontiers of the country with utmost bravery. Officers and jawans of our police force are also winning laurels in the war against terrorism and apprehending the terrorists and criminals with courage.
He said that he also pays glowing tributes to the great efforts and exemplary sacrifices of Pakistan army on this historic occasion of Independence Day. Pakistan army besides performing their duties of guarding the sacred homeland have also got their names written with golden words in the pages of history by laying down great sacrifices and losing their precious lives for the sake of country.
He said that government of Pakistan and its people will continue moral and diplomatic support of Kashmiri people at every forum and on every front. In order to express solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiri people, the green flag of Pakistan along with the flag of Kashmir are also being hoisted on this occasion. I appeal to the people of Punjab that they should participate with full enthusiasm so as to express their profound love with their Kashmiri people and tell the world that Kashmir was Part of Pakistan yesterday and will continue to remain part and parcel today also. We were siding with the Kashmiri people yesterday, part of them today and will continue to support them in future also.
Punjab Governor Ch. Muhammad Sarwar while addressing the Independence Day ceremony has said that we want to bring the system of equality in accordance with the ideas of Quaid-i-Azam and Allama Iqbal and according to the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan. India should stop its ugly practice of committing genocide of innocent Kashmiri people in the occupied Kashmir. The butcher of Gujrat Narendra Modi has also become murderer of innocent Kashmiri people in the occupied Kashmir.
