Establishment of Pakistan was a miracle & one of the biggest developments of 20th century: PM Shehbaz

ISLAMABAD, August 14 (SABAH): Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that the establishment of Pakistan was a miracle and one of the biggest developments of the 20th century, which was made possible under the dynamic leadership of the Quaid-i-Azam and the sacrifices of Muslims.

In a statement issued on twitter on Sunday, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that the odds were certainly heavy but the will to defeat them was stronger.

Shehbaz Sharif said that while we celebrate our hard-earned independence, Pakistan at 75 calls for deep reflection. We have yet to fully realize the dream that our founding fathers dreamed; the dream of socio-economic justice, rule of and equality before the law and the dream of egalitarian society, he said.

Shehbaz Sharif said that the time has come for the nation to understand what true freedom means. It is a freedom from want, hunger and poverty. Without economic sovereignty, our freedom is incomplete. Our greatest strength is our people. It is about time we place their welfare at the center of public policy, he said.
