HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY PAKISTAN!

I wish to emphasize that we appreciate the spirit in which those in the Government service at present and in the Armed Forces and others have so willingly and ungrudgingly volunteered themselves provisionally to serve Pakistan. As servants of Pakistan we shall make them happy and they will be treated equally with our nationals. The tolerance and goodwill that great Emperor Akbar showed to all the non-Muslim is not of recent origin. It dates back thirteen centuries ago when our Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) (S.A.W) not only by words but by deeds treated the Jews and Christians, after he had conquered them, with the utmost tolerance and regard and respect for their faith and beliefs. The whole history of Muslims, wherever they ruled, is replete with those humane and great principles which should be followed and practiced.

Finally, I thank you for your good wishes for Pakistan, and I assure you that we shall not be wanting in friendly spirit with our neighbors and with all nations of the world."MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH (AUGUST 14, 1947)This year it came with torrential rains, took away 1600+ lives and has already has affected over 14 MILLION people in Pakistan. I request/APPEAL everyone to make DUA for our country and all suffering souls.
