Sindh Local Government Minister, Saeed Ghani, has said that those sowing the seeds of hatred are not Pakistan’s well-wishers.
The Sindh Local Government Minister stated this on Wednesday while speaking at a ceremony held at the office of Korangi Association of Trade & Industry (KATI) to mark Pakistan’s Independence Day.
Ghani lamented that the Pakistani had failed to fully act upon the ideology and vision of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah despite the fact that 77 years have passed since securing independence.
He said the elements pursuing the division’s agenda should be exposed to achieve Quaid-e-Azam’s vision.
The Local Government Minister appreciated that members of every community in the country vigorously celebrated Pakistan’s Independence Day irrespective of the hardships they had been enduring.
He lamented that the Pakistani nation stood divided based on the ethnic, linguistic, racial, and religious affiliation of the people.
He said that the progress and prosperity of Pakistan would remain an elusive task till all Pakistanis stood united as a single nation. He said that a crisis-like situation had been prevailing in Pakistan due to ethnic bias in society. The Local Government Minister said that everyone was keen to see Pakistan becoming a prosperous and developed country in the near future.
He told the audience at the ceremony that the recent success of the athlete Arshad Nadeem in the Paris Olympics had proved that hardships could be overcome to achieve victory. He said that Arshad Nadeem’s victory in the Olympics was above the ethnic and linguistic divide in the country.
Ghani said that members of every community irrespective of their sectarian, religious, and linguistic affiliations had been facing the same issues in the country.
He said the problems in the country could be resolved by exposing the elements involved in dividing the countrymen. “We should try our best that our next generations shouldn’t see the sorry of state of affairs as have been prevailing in the country,” said the Local Government Minister.
He said it was high time that the political differences should be set aside to serve the country in the best possible manner.
