ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari has resolved to build Pakistan in accordance with the dream and aspirations of the great visionary Allama Muhammad Iqbal.

Co?chairman Pakistan People’s Party Asif Zardari in his message on the 71st death anniversary of Allama Iqbal, said Pakistan can be best built by understanding Islam in the light of Allama Iqbal’s teachings and by refusing to let armed militants impose their interpretation of Islamic thought and morality on the people through guns and bullets.

“This indeed is the best tribute we can pay to Allama Iqbal today.”The death anniversary of Allama Iqbal will be observed today.

President Zardari said Iqbal was the great poet philosopher who first envisioned a separate homeland for the Muslims of the South Asian sub?continent.

The freedom and independence of the people of Pakistan living as an independent nation is in no small measure due to the great vision of a great visionary, he added.

The President said today, as never before, the message of Iqbal has been misunderstood as some elements are using force to deprive the people of their hard earned freedom and independence. Never before was the need for understanding Iqbal’s concept of Pakistan and the true message of Islam as great as it is today, he added.

He said, “It is because in the country envisioned by him, Islam has been ruthlessly exploited by some extremists who want to capture political power and thereby dictate their political and moral agenda on the people through the use of force in the name of Islam.”

This is a complete negation of Allama Iqbal’s understanding of Islam and his vision of Pakistan. It cannot be allowed; it will not be,” he added.
