Prime Minister Imran Khan, while paying tribute to the national poet on his 143rd birth anniversary. He has emphasized the need of seeking guidance from Allama Iqbal’s thoughts. To find solutions to the issues faced by the nation.
The premier, in a statement, said that now it was their individual and collective responsibility. To play their role in the building of the nation while exploring thoughts of Allama Iqbal.
Allama Iqbal had decided to guide the Muslims of the sub-continent with his thoughts and poetry. At a time when they were groping in the darkness of slavery in search of their identity, he highlighted.
With his poetry, Allama Iqbal invoked that power with which the Muslims overcome their sense of despondency, guiding them to achieve the impossible, he added.
PM Imran further said that Allama Iqbal not only dreamt of Pakistan but also reflected upon. Regarding the issues, it would have to face after its creation.
It was due to the farsightedness of his personality who had many years earlier predicted; the contemporary problems faced by us, he maintained.
Iqbal’s vision was still a guiding force. To overcome issues like sectarianism and extremism, he said. Advising the youth to discover their innate qualities; identical with Iqbal’s symbol of the eagle. With which they could carve a niche in the world.
He urged the nation to concentrate their energies on transforming Pakistan. Under the visions of its forefathers. He stressed the need for reorganization of political, social, and economic bodies.
Sir Muhammad Iqbal was a Muslim poet, philosopher, and politician from Punjab, British India, whose poetry in Urdu and Persian is considered to be among the greatest of the modern era, and whose vision of an independent state for the Muslims of British India was to inspire the creation of Pakistan.
