‘Only democratic Pakistan can guarantee bright future’
APP

ISLAMABAD: President Mamnoon Hussain on Monday said that Pakistan had come into existence as a result of democratic struggle and now it was new generation’s responsibility to safeguard democracy because only a democratic Pakistan could be a guarantee for the nation’s bright future.

The president was speaking at the special ceremony, ‘Quaid-e-Azam Aur Bache’, as part of weeklong commemorations of Quaid-e-Azam’s 139th birth anniversary held at the Aiwan-e-Sadr.

The president and First Lady Begum Mahmooda Mamnoon Hussain also cut a cake along with schoolchildren.

The president said that Quaid-e-Azam considered new generation as centre of hope for Pakistan and he had great expectations from them, adding that the motto of unity, faith and discipline was preached by the Quaid because he believed that no nation could progress until it had belief in its dreams and goals.

During the colourful function, the president and the first lady mixed up with the children and appreciated those children who recited verses from the Holy Quran.

The president said that a nation that does not protect its freedom, pay attention to ideas of its elders and keep supreme its national values, then its future became uncertain.
