ISLAMABAD — National Skills University Islamabad marked the 150th birth anniversary of Muhammad Ali Jinnah with a British Parliamentary–style debate competition organized by its Literary Society under the banner of the Jinnah Forum.
The event brought together student teams who debated themes related to Jinnah’s political vision, leadership and role in the creation of Pakistan. Organizers said the competition aimed to encourage critical thinking and academic discussion on the country’s ideological foundations and contemporary challenges.
