The Pakistan Day

Pakistan Day And Our Today’s Nation

23 March 1940 was a revolutionary day, when a great crew was gathered at Iqbal Park . None of them knew each other, none of them was having any blood relation, and there was no concept of Shia,Sunni rather Sindhi, Punjabi, Balochi and Pakhtoons. They were only Muslims who were gathered and truly wanted to have an independent state in the form of great Pakistan, to live there own life according to their religion. They passed a resolution demanding a separate country in that procession, which was headed by the great Muslim leader, Quid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah (May his soul be in peace). The several lines that Quid-e-Azam addressed to that huge crowd that time, is known as Pakistan resolution. This historical resolution in the subcontinent has great significance in the history of the world. 23 March reminds us the sacrifices of our great Muslim leaders and our ancestors who laid their life sacrificed for this holy country. They gave away everything and promised to be united and to build a strong foundation of this sacred country, which was probably the last hope for the survival of Islam in the world.

Current situation:

However, unfortunately, after the success of that resolution, now we the Muslims are unable to keep the vision of those daring people alive. On that day, Sindhi, Punjabi, Balochi and Pathan were joined hands to make the Pakistan under one flag but today we all are segregated into different cast and sects and  provinces, fighting and just working for our own prospects.

Today, we blame the country that Pakistan has not given us anything. Did you give it a thought that what you have done for this country in your life?? Today, we just know that there will be a holiday on 23 March, but no one actually knows the significance of this day. Our country for which thousands of great personalities scarified their lives has to face terrible conditions, the biggest losses such as the separation of East Pakistan, terrorists attacks, drone attacks, target killing, sever economic depression and much much more.

All are due to the lack of foresightedness of our leaders and the nation. We do not know how to sacrifice our lives for our country; we just know how to criticize & blame others and how to work only for the personal interests. This is not the behavior of a “Nation”, we all just wandering to fulfill our dreams and wishes.

In last famous and thoughtfull line for Quid’s Nation;

“Jo Qoumain Apna Mazi aur Tarikh Bhol Jateen Hain,Tarikh Bhi Unhai Bhool Jaati hai".
