No power on earth can undo Pakistan: COAS | The Express Tribune

On the occasion of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s 145 birth anniversary, Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa reiterated that no power on earth could undo Pakistan. 

The army chief said that the nation was celebrating the birth anniversary “with great reverence and commitment upholding his message of hope, courage and confidence”.

“Faith, unity and discipline shall always remain guiding principles of our great nation.”

Prime Minister Imran, in his message, said: “Let us live the Quaid’s ideals of Unity, Faith and Discipline with a renewed national spirit so that we make this country rise above all seen and unseen challenges”.

He added that Jinnah had a firm faith in God and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which guided him through a long journey comprising of ordeals, deceptions and dejections but culminating in grandeur, décor and eternity.

President Arif Alvi said that we [the people] should reaffirm our commitment to building a state that respects the diversity of its masses and provide equal opportunities to its citizens irrespective of their religion, caste, creed or colour.

“On this day, we must also remember the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, who are being subjected to the worst kind of state-terrorism for over seven decades,” the president added.

Various activities are being held in government and private organisations to highlight the Quaid-e-Azam’s lifelong political struggle and his guiding principles of unity, faith and discipline.

Recitation of the Holy Quran would also be held at the Mazar-e-Quaid in Karachi while a change of guard’s ceremony also took place.
