Caretaker Sindh Chief Minister Justice (retd) Maqbool Baqar has said that the Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s vision of a democratic, pluralistic, and secular State has become submerged amidst dogma, extremism, and radicalism. This he recorded in the visitors’ book opened at Mazar-e-Quaid to celebrate his birth anniversary on December 25.
Justice Baqar wrote “Today, as we stand here at the birth anniversary of the great Quaid, we would be remiss to not acknowledge that his vision of a democratic, pluralistic, and secular State has become submerged amidst dogma, extremism, and radicalism. The CM recorded that, let us strive to work towards a Pakistan where people, irrespective of their religion, class, or gender are allowed to actualise their potential. A Pakistan where the rule of law reigns supreme, a Pakistan where Jinnah’s vision truly comes to life.’
Earlier, the chief minister visited Mazar-e-Quaid where he along with President Dr Arif Alvi, and Governor Sindh Kamran Tessori laid a floral wreath and offered fateha.
