ISLAMABAD: Pakistani nation is commemorating today the 74th death anniversary of founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
In Karachi, Acting Governor of Sindh Agha Siraj Durrani and Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah visited the Jinnah’s mausoleum to pay homage to Father of the Nation. They laid floral wreaths at Jinnah’s final resting place.
Thousands of people also reached the tomb of Jinnah to pay homage to him. Muhammad Ali Jinnah passed away on Sept 11, 1948, a year after Pakistan appeared on atlas.
Meanwhile, many events were organised in different cities to commemorate the Founder of Pakistan and to pay tribute to him for achieving a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent.
Founder of Pakistan and his doctor successfully kept his tuberculosis a closely guarded secret with the anticipation that the revelation of illness could have stopped the Partition.
Talking to reporters at the Jinnah mausoleum on Sunday morning, chief minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah said that floods have killed 1500 people and that the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had said that Pakistan could not cope with the losses alone.
Agha Siraj Durrani said that in these difficult times, politicians must put their politics aside and work together to support flood survivors.
