Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday urged the nation to make a pledge on Independence Day not to let any harm come to the supremacy of the Constitution, rule of law and continuity of the democratic system in the country.
“We cannot do justice to the objectives of the independence unless Pakistan gets deliverance from all kinds of chaos, adventurism and confrontation,” he said while addressing a colourful Independence Day celebrations here at the Parliament House.Nawaz Sharif said it was imperative for safeguarding of independence that Pakistan progresses in all fields of life.
“It is essential that dams are constructed, industries are set up, highways, sea ports educational institutions are built, energy projects are setup, employment opportunities are created and the whole country becomes prosperous,” the prime minister said.
He however regretted that unfortunately the country could not focus on this mission in past 68 years.The ceremony that began with the recitation from the Holy Quran was followed by national songs, and tableaux depicting the supreme sacrifices rendered by the nation in the country’s struggle for independence.
