SHAKARGARH/ PESHAWAR: Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal has said nations are not built through sit-ins and long marches, rather all segments have to take part in the process of national development. Addressing a function in Shakargarh here on Monday, he said it was high time that all political forces of the country shun their personal interests and decide a solid plan of action for development of the country. He said some elements didn?t want to see Pakistan progressing, and the Nation has yet not forgotten terrible era of PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari. The minister claimed that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan didn?t want Senate elections as he knows it well that the Pakhtunkhwa parliamentarians of his party would not give vote according to his wish. Later in the day, addressing students and teachers at Roos Keppel Hall, Islamia College Peshawar, in connection with the 141st birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam, Ahsan Iqbal said the Father of the Nation, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, considered education as a prerequisite for economic prosperity and development of the country. He said Quaid?s life was a beacon of light for all Pakistanis. He said prosperity and development without education was impossible and great responsibilities rest with universities to impart quality education to students and focus on their character building. He said the Quaid-e-Azam had achieved Pakistan through peaceful struggle and his visit to ICP on several occasions reflected his love for education. Whenever Mr Jinnah visited the then NWFP (now Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa) in 1936, 1945 and 1948, he visited ICP to acknowledge its students? great role during Pakistan Movement. His love for the college could be judged from his will written on May 30, 1939 in Bombay in which he had declared Islamia College Peshawar, the Muslim University Aligarh and Sindh Madrassatul Islam, Karachi, as among the inheritors of his property. Mr Jinnah had given one-third of his property to the ICP. Ahsan Iqbal said our problems could not be addressed at civil secretariats but by developing our educational institutions and universities and providing quality education to students with main focus on research and innovations in the academia. The interior minister stressed elimination of extremism, prejudice and sectarianism from society to make the country abode for all the Pakistanis, saying development of the country was linked with quality education, political stability and continuity of economic policies. He said these social evils could be eliminated through education and stressed the need for joint struggle by all. The minister said Quaid-e-Azam stood for constitutionalism and arguments in his entire political career and his qualities were also admired by his political opponents. The minister said Pakistan was on its way to become an economic Asian Tiger due to coherent and vibrant economic policies of the government. ?Our government keeping in view the importance of higher education has raised the higher education budget from Rs13 billion to Rs35 billion and has the plan to take it up to Rs50 billion in the coming years, he said. KP Governor Iqbal Zafar Jhagra said Fata University had been made functional and classes were being started there. The function was also addressed by HEC Chairman Professor Dr Mukhtiar Ahmed. Vice Chancellor ICP University Prof Dr Habib Ahmed presented the welcome address. Meanwhile, in a message, Ahsan Iqbal said Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah wanted Pakistan to become a welfare state in which solidarity, peace and mutual tolerance prevailed. He said Quaid-e-Azam dreamt of a welfare state whose people rose above provincialism and linguistic prejudice and worked for progress and prosperity of Pakistan. He said the present time required that people should make the thoughts of Quaid-e-Azam part of their lives and follow his teachings.Ahsan said, ?We are fortunate that in Pakistan a large number of youth have qualification and abilities which are not less than those in any other country.? He said our youth had achieved many milestones in the field of science and technology and the world had acknowledged the abilities of the youth. ?Youth need to become like Ibne Sina, Ibne Khuldun and Jabir Ibne Hayyan so that we can compete against other nations.? أكثر... ??????? ??????: Nation still remembers Zardari?s terrible tenure || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
