  • CM Murad says Ismaili community’s spiritual leader renders invaluable, self-service for all humanity

KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah hosted a reception in honour of the spiritual leader of Ismaili community Prince Karim Aga Khan here at the CM House.

The chief minister, welcoming the visiting dignitary to Pakistan, said that people who eagerly awaited his arrival rejoice as he graced them with his presence, as a part of his golden jubilee. He said that it was indeed an immense honour for him to host the spiritual leader at the CM House.

“The contributions that you and your family have made to Pakistan are countless; even before we were recognised by the international community as a sovereign state, His Highness Aga Khan the third drove us towards gaining independence during the round table conferences, where he advocated to put Pakistan on the map,” he said.

“Today, the philanthropic work done by the Aga Khan Development Network reaches millions across the nation and Pakistan is indeed fortunate to have been a beneficiary of the humanitarian work undertaken by the AKDN,” he said.

“You have propagated only the unity of mankind, and have been rendering an invaluable and self-service for all humanity, as you offer tolerance and understanding, acceptance and affirmation and harmony and unity-in these dark and dreary times,” Chief Minister Murad while lauding his efforts towards global peace and stability.

Welcoming PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, the chief minister thanked him for taking time to attend the reception despite his busy schedule.
