March 23 is very important with regard to Pakistan’s Independence Movement as on this day, the Muslims of the Sub-Continent decided their destiny under the flag of the Muslim League, said Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said in his message on Pakistan Day.
Shahbaz said that although we achieved freedom from the British yet we could not benefit from its fruits. He said that the journey of construction of Pakistan started from the creation of Pakistan is still incomplete and we, as a nation, will have to utilise all our energies for its completion. He said the sacrifices rendered by our forefathers for the establishment of Pakistan demand that we should fully achieve the objectives of freedom. The chief minister said that at present, the country is facing a number of challenges. He said that we are facing problems like terrorism, extremism, energy crisis, corruption and ruination of national institutions. However, present government is making serious and sincere efforts for resolving these problems. He said that due to unjust distribution of resources, Pakistan has divided into two segments. On this day, we will have to question ourselves whether our forefathers struggled and thousands of people sacrificed their lives for such a country, he added.
