In a statement released on Wednesday, Naqvi emphasized Jinnah’s pivotal role in shaping the destiny of Pakistan through his steadfast determination, integrity, and visionary leadership.
Naqvi described Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah as a figure defined by “relentless struggle, unwavering determination, high spirit, and honesty,” and credited his courageous leadership as the cornerstone of Pakistan’s independence. “Without the Quaid’s remarkable resolve, the dream of an independent country would have remained unrealized,” Naqvi asserted.
