KARACHI: Freedom is a blessing that was obtained after huge sacrifices. Now we should value it. The zeal amongst the youth of Pakistan is unmatchable. We need to tap the talent of youth in order to utilize it for nation building. Quaid-e-Azam was proven right again after the world witnessed the sufferings of people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir through the hands of Indian forces. Pakistanis are a brave nation; we have faced terrorism through the years and have fought bravely and have succeeded. Perhaps that helped this nation defeat COVID-19.

These views were expressed by the Vice Chancellor, University of Karachi, Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi Friday. He was addressing the audience during an impressive ceremony after hoisting the national flag held in front of the new Administration Building at University of Karachi.

"We are celebrating 73rd Independence Day with national fervor and offering special prayers for the wellbeing of the nation and the country and for people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir as each and every Pakistani is standing for the Kashmiris."

The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi expressed that Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has been deprived of human rights but whole Pakistan is united for the Kashmiri people and their rights.
