KARACHI, Aug 13 (APP):Three days Independence Celebrations are being held in the Alma Mater of Quaid e Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Sindh Madressatul Islam since August 12.
The Vice Chancellor of Sindh Madressatul Islam University (SMIU) Dr. Mujeeb Sahrai paid great tribute to the founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and other leaders of the Independence Movement for their successful peaceful struggle for Pakistan.
Addressing at the second day of the 3-Day Independence Celebrations of Pakistan, organised by the Directorate of Students Affairs and Counselling of SMIU on Tuesday, Vice Chancellor congratulated the entire nation on the 77th Independence Day and said young generation must be optimist and value the freedom they are enjoying today.
Dr. Sahrai further said,”We have to forget that what has happened in the past, now every individual of the country has to play his/her role to bring peace, harmony, prosperity and development in the country.”
He said before achieving independence on 14th August 1947, there were more critical and difficult conditions for Muslim leaders when they were struggling for Pakistan without arms under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, but they ultimately achieved their independent Country-Pakistan.
He said it was a great leadership of the Quaid that he united all Muslims who were divided on the basis of ethnicity, political thoughts and sectarian matters. “Today we have to honour the Quaid’s legacy and ideology and work for the country without any discrimination,” he added.
He maintained that today the big problem of the country is its growing population, that must be controlled, because our resources are becoming limited, that could not meet the needs of huge population in the near future.
Dean Dr. Jamshed Adil, Dr. Subhash Babu, Chairman of Department of Social and Development Studies at SMIU, Muhammad Naeem Ahmed, Director Students Affairs and students Abdul Basit, Sana Ali, Khushi Bai and Abdul Samad delivered speeches and Laiba and Habiba presented national songs.
