Nizami blast on Shahbaz Sharif for not attending NPT conference

Lahore:  Dr. Majid Nizami observed that inept and corrupt leadership has been the bane of Pakistan. The 23^rd of March demands that we not any recover Kashmir from India, but also empathise with our Bangladeshi brethren, so that both the wings of the country may be united once again.

These ideas were expressed by the Nation Editor-in-Chief in his presidential address on the second day of the 2-day seminar held at the Aiwan-i-Karkunan-i-Tehreek-i-Pakistan to mark the ‘Pakistan Day’.

Continuing his presidential address, Dr. Majid Nizami said I am missing worthy Chief Minister Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif and the Governor Punjab who were the guest of honour of the ceremony. It was a pity that both were not present here.I asked the audience they should not elect such leaders who do not give importance to you.

Those present on the occasion included Begum Majida Wyne, Prof. Dr. Rafique Ahmad, Justice (r) Munir Ahmad Mughal, Ch. Naeem Hussain Chattha, M.A Sufi, Prof. Dr. Parveen Khan and a large number of students, teachers and people from different walks of life.

Sahibzada Sultan Ahmad Ali, a rising intellectual and statesman from the family of the saint Hazrat Sultan Bahu, observed that Pakistan emerged on the map of the world after a struggle that continued for centuries. To make his point, Sahibzada narrated an interesting incident from history. Socrates once asked his father, who was a sculptor, how he had produced a horse out of a piece of stone. His father replied that the horse already existed in the stone. Similarly, the Quaid-i-Azam sculptured Pakistan out of the

Sub-continent because, like Socrates’ father, he possessed the intelligence and skill that was required to work this miracle. Socio-economic justice, Sahibzada remarked, was vital for the survival of Pakistan. Democracy, based on feudalism and capitalism, is the bane of Pakistan. The Quaid-i-Azam intended to test what the true Islamic culture actually was, keeping it independent of any stamp of Arabic culture, he remarked.

Mian Farooq Altaf observed that we must learn to be proud of our great homeland and try our best to root out lust for money and power from our hearts and minds.
