Islamabad (IP) - Pakistanis today, Wednesday, commemorated the 148th birth anniversary of "Muhammad Ali Jinnah," the founder of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, by commemorating his unparalleled efforts in uniting the Muslims of the subcontinent and forming an independent country.

According to a report by Iran Press News Agency from Islamabad, "Muhammad Ali Jinnah," the founder of Pakistan, who is known as the "Supreme Leader," was able to unite the Muslims of the subcontinent in the face of complex political and social challenges with unparalleled determination and will, and his tireless efforts in 1947 led to the formation of an independent country for Muslims, which is known today as Pakistan.

Pakistanis, who consider the birth anniversary of Muhammad Ali Jinnah a reminder of values such as unity, justice, and resistance, paid tribute to this great leader of the Muslim subcontinent on this day by holding special ceremonies, including firing cannons in the capital and four provincial capitals of the country, as well as a military parade at the tomb of Muhammad Ali Jinnah in Karachi.

In separate messages on the occasion of this day, President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan called Muhammad Ali Jinnah a symbol of resistance and unparalleled leadership of Muslims.

The Pakistani armed forces also paid tribute to Muhammad Ali Jinnah in an official statement and considered his guiding principles to be the solution to the current problems of the Islamic world.

Supporting the Palestinian people and fighting the Zionist occupation has been one of the main ideals of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of this country, since the early days of the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah always emphasized the need to support the rights of the Palestinians and confront the oppression and aggression of the Zionist regime, so this ideology has become a fixed principle of Pakistan's foreign policy over the years, and the country's officials and religious leaders have repeatedly emphasized their adherence to this belief.

Pakistani political and religious leaders have declared, especially on various occasions, that supporting Palestine is not only a human duty but also part of the national and religious identity and aspirations of the Pakistani people.
