Acting president and Senate Chairman Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani says dialogue is the only way to solve the problems. He expressed these views during his visit to the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah to pay homage to the Father of the Nation on Wednesday.
The acting president laid a floral wreath and offered fateha. He also recorded his impressions in the visitors’ book placed at the mausoleum. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah was also present on the occasion.
Speaking to the media, the acting president said Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a true and genuine leader of the Sub-Continent and our youth should be aware of the fact that he (Quaid) was the true leader and he had created Pakistan therefore we should not be running after a ‘black cat in a dark room’.
Gilani said that his father was an associate of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and when Quaid visited Lahore in 1940 and he was asked why he did not come to Multan, he had said that Gilani was there to represent me therefore no need of my visit to Multan. Gilani said Quaid did not visited Multan but Mohtrama Fatima Jinnah had visited our Dargah there.
He said that for the first time he visited the basement of the Mazar of Quaid Azam and offered Fateha at the Mazars of Quaid e Azam, Nawab Liaquat Ali Khan, Mohtrama Fatima Jinnah, Noorul Amin and all our forefathers buried here. “Our country has confronted with so many problems but we are lucky enough that 65% youth consisting the total population of Pakistan. Youth will play important role and they would be the future leaders,” he added.
