CM MESSAGE ON IQBAL’s BIRTH ANNIVERSARY
LAHORE, November 08:
The Poet of the East Allama Muhammad Iqbal awakened the Muslims from deep slumber through his poetry and philosophical thoughts and gave the message of self-identification to the youth while employing the symbol of the eagle bird.
In his message, Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar said Allama Iqbal was an exponent of Muslim unity, who addressed the whole of humanity while rising above the geographical restrictions. Allama Iqbal secured the future of the Muslim nation by presenting the idea of a separate homeland in the subcontinent; he continued and asserted that Pakistan would emerge as a moderate Islamic welfare state by following the vision of Allama Iqbal.
Following the philosophy and vision of Allama Iqbal was the best way to pay tributes to the Poet of the East, added Usman Buzdar. The vision of a new Pakistan was in accordance with the philosophy and principles of Allama Iqbal, he maintained. PM Imran Khan was materializing the dream of Iqbal’s idea of Pakistan as Allama Iqbal believed that the golden principles of justice and equality, self-respect, passion and humanism are roadmaps for development. The nation should reiterate its commitment today to follow the vision and philosophy of Allama Iqbal, concluded the CM.
