Even then these extremist elements kept on opposing Pakistan. But they could not face the committed and resolute leadership of founding father of the country. Pakistan emerged as independent and sovereign state on the world map.
He asserted that two nation theory was behind the creation of Pakistan and no one can deviate from it. Pakistan had come into being in the name of Islam and there is dire need that its true image is projected. No one will be allowed to impose Islam of one’s free will, he cautioned. Pakistan will be transformed into moderate, enlightened, progressive and welfare Islamic state. The elements who will try to hamper this process will have to meet failure.
Country’s future is very bright, he noted. We are committed for resolution of problems facing the people. The present government believes on resolution of problems rather than turning deaf ears to them. We took several courageous steps and made difficult decisions in this regard. But these all decisions were taken in the national interest which would not be compromised. He announced that no law would be enacted against Islam in the country. Those who are opposing Women Protection Bill (WPB) are misleading the people. The bill is in consonance with Quran and Sunnah. PML has played vital role in the passage of this bill.
