Srinagar, Dec 24 (KNS): The incarcerated chairman of Democratic Freedom Party (DFP), Shabir Ahmad Shah on Saturday paid glowing tributes to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA) on his 141th birth anniversary saying his name will always be remembered till eternity.
In a statement issued to KNS, Shah said, “Under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam (RA), the Muslims of South Asia demanded a separate nation and pledged to secure the religious, cultural identity of Muslims. He fulfilled Allama Iqbal’s (RA) dream of having a separate nation for Muslims and made it clear that minorities particularly Muslims are not safe and secure in the united India. The Muslim Ummah will never forget such a great soul and a well-wisher leader.”
“As India’s freedom struggle gained momentum, thousands of Muslims were massacred as a result of Partition of Bengal and Assam. As a man of utmost courage and farsightedness, the Quaid-e-Azam (RA) handled the situation in an exemplary way. Pakistanis are blessed to have a leader like Quaid-e-Azam (RA) and the people of this nation are duty-bound to uphold the values and principles laid down by this great leader.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel”
