Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday emphasised the need to provide equal opportunities in education and health to fulfil the true vision of Pakistan’s founder, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of Daanish School Kuri, the prime minister reflected on the sacrifices made during the 1947 migration, noting that millions left everything behind with the hope of building a nation grounded in justice, fair play, and merit.He asserted that Pakistan cannot reach its true destination without ensuring accessible, high-quality opportunities for all citizens in every field, stressing that every child from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Gilgit-Baltistan must have access to quality education.
And after eighty years down the lane, he said they must take a pause and have honest self-introspection about what they had dreamt of in 1947.“This might be some other Pakistan, but not Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s Pakistan?” he remarked while referring to two different sets of education system in the country.
“That what we and our forefathers had dreamt of in 1947, and where we stand today, that the richest of this country earned their assets through hard work or otherwise, have the opportunity to send their sons and daughters to the best schools in Pakistan, not only here, to North of America and South of France. And imagine the plight of girls like this daughter from Bahawalpur and this daughter from KP, and this boy in front of you who also became a doctor,” he added
