President Mamnoon Hussain has urged the nation to re-pledge to follow the message of Allama Mohammad Iqbal of self awareness and self esteem for the greater good of our society and our beloved homeland.
In a message on Iqbal Day, being observed on Sunday, the President said the Muslims of the Sub-continent would always remain indebted to this great visionary leader for his invaluable services for infusing a new spirit among the Muslim community, changing their thought-process and providing them with a solid ideological foundation to strive for regaining their lost identity.
"He envisioned the idea of a separate homeland for the Muslims of the Sub-Continent and provided them a direction to search for truth" the President said. He said no doubt, Allama Iqbal is among those few people who are appreciated equally by East and West and his work has been researched and appraised by scholars around the world. The President emphasised that the need to recall the message of Allama Iqbal has never been as great as it is today. Faced with various challenges let us revert to his message and pledge ourselves to make a deliberate effort by putting aside our differences, exhibiting unity and striving collectively for finding solutions to the ills that corrode our society and hinder our march towards progress and prosperity. Let us on this day pledge to make even greater efforts for the fulfilment of the dream of our forefathers and the poet-philosopher, the President concluded.
