Independence Day: Freedom is a blessing of God
Freedom leads to enhanced expressions of creativity and original thought, increased productivity, and an overall high quality of life. Word freedom has great depth of meaning. Death is the start of this mission and ends at endless life. Freedom is consisted on the river of fire and blood but its destination is a paradise on the earth. Freedom is a great motive which became the cause of Tahreek-e-Pakistan. It made the Allama Iqbal Shair-e-Mashriq (poet of East) and Tarjuman-e-Haqeeqat. It called Muhammad Ali Jinnah Quaid e Azam(founder of the nation) and Pasban-e-Milat (Pastor of the Nation). To get the freedom, Muslims of the India broke the chain of slave and got their goal Pakistan (sacred homeland) in a short period.
The largest migration was seen in history when Pakistan came in to being. The bones of our forefathers are buried in its soil who embraced martyrdom in the right way. People gave the sacrifices of their Life, wealth and property, children and respect to get a separate country.
All the Muslims scarified not only for freedom but also that they wanted to establish an Islamic State where can live with freedom and lead their life according to the codes of Islam.
But alas! After 66 years of freedom we are still slave. Slave of feudal system and ignorant customs and traditions. Class of haves is dominating. Leaders are taking convoy away from the destination. Long-time partner have become thefts. Friends have become the enemy for personal interests. The market of theft, bribery and robbed are in a vogue. Target killing, rape cases, extortion mafia and terrorism are in full swing. At this time life is cheap than money. Traitors trying to destroy the nation and avoid the national interest. No one has protection of life, honor and wealth. Victims are waiting for justice at standing the entrance of courts. But nobody is listening their appeals.
Now it’s the time be united. Let’s finish all the differences and think like a nation. Punjabi, Sindhi, Pakhtoon and Balochi treat equally. We take every as united nation step for the betterment of country.
Came out the Pakistan from the darkness of ignorant and bring peace and love on this sacred land. Take every step for the Integrity and sovereignty of country and defeat our enemy who is creating hypocrisy among our nation.
