Respectable Principal, my lovely teachers, my peers, brothers and sisters, I wish
you all a very Happy independence day.
As you all know we are gathered here to celebrate the 75th Independence of our
Holy Land Pakistan. We have got Pakistan as a gift and as a reward of decades of
struggles and untold miseries suffered by our ancestors here.
Independence is truly no lesser than a great blessing. You can freely feel a sense
of independence and freedom while breathing under the fresh air. We all stand
protected because of this independence.
Respected audience, before we move ahead to discuss what to be done for
tomorrow, its mandatory to shed some light over the hard work, dedication,
struggles, and endeavors of our forefathers in the great cause of Independence.
The efforts of Quaid, the struggles of Iqbal, the preaching of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan,
and the efforts of thousands of Muslim freedom fighters from all walks of life can
never ever be ignored.
One wonders how come in the old days such a unity, disciplined efforts and
dedication in the face of two giant forces, the British and Hindus, our true leaders
could achieve and that all brought us to Pakistan. True it is, behind all of those
sacrifices and struggles for unity and free land was the blessing of Almighty Allah.
Today’s marks the 75th anniversary of our Independence. In the debilitating
journey of 75 years, we suffered many strokes, various conspiracies were hatched
to undo the glorious event of 1947, here the governance was destabilized, our
economy was strangulated.
We were made politically paralyzed, socially isolated and every possible effort was
made to make us comply with international dictations but we still survive. We
have to identify and stand against all of those odds to make our country strong
and superior.
Respected audience, it is quite disheartening to state that our land is facing
numerous challenges. Poverty, terrorism, unemployment, youth frustrations,
resources mismanagement, and corruption are to name a few. The challenges are
unending. So should our strategy be.
To our youth brothers and sisters sitting here, we have to work out against all of
these challenges. Being guardians of freedom, we are responsible for a better
working tomorrow.
The hard tasks always require great sacrifices. We have to stand against all of
those big problems being faced by our motherland. Dear sir, given the enormous
degree of challenges ahead, the things we need are unity, discipline, and faith. We
have to preserve and propagate national integration throughout every corner of
our country.
We have to stay disciplined in our efforts and struggles for the progress of our
country. And the last thing that we need is to have firm faith in Almighty Allah.
Surely, with all the efforts given, we shall stand victorious. This day comes every
year to remind us of our true status, identity, prestige, and power. Today merely
chanting slogans don’t suffice to us.
There lies a higher responsibility on our shoulders. We have to discharge our
duties diligently in order to get rid of incessant crises and uncertainties.
Let’s help our brothers, our sisters and help our countrymen selflessly. Let’s stand
against, injustice, ignorance, anarchy, poverty, corruption, and unemployment.
Let’s work, let’s unite, let’s turn into such a sublime and solid entity that should
embitter and spoil every nefarious tactic of our faceless foes.
Pakistan Zinda Abad
