From the freedom day, in spite
of all the disabilities and miseries, we appeared as a successful nation, we
establish our systems and proved the world that we are born to live long and we
will do approve.
We are assaulted three times by our sneaky neighbor, two times we knock him down
with in days and his plea to UN for ceasefire, but he succeeded in 1971 with the
support of traitors and our own poor leadership.
We defeated badly the once super power and his forces with strategy and gorilla
war, although with the external support and the same gorillas posing a serious
threat to our existence but still we are at winning edge and we are committed to
astonish them with our unity and morality.
We get freed our justice system from the 62 years of hostile with ever unique
movement, Our armed forces are defending us with great clarity of vision and
commitments. They are not willing to occupy of Govt, but seeking the back up
from the nation. Our media is very much proactive than ever seen before. It is
not only teaching the public but also escorting the institutes i.e. SC, Police,
NAB, provincial and local administration toward the fairness, justice, policy
making and so on.
On the other hand, our politicians are in the middle of their revolutionary
period, Our Islamic scholars are differentiating the “black Sheep” who have
mixed among them and involved in the nation’s partition.
Our scientist and engineers are discovering and recovering the latest inventions
and discoveries.

Engineers which publish in “. (Friday, 10 July 2009. US Magazine, the News and

have rarely anything to be proud of, knowing about the accomplishments of these
scientists give we hope. Their achievements encourage our young scientists to
follow in the footsteps of the legends. As Allama Iqbal rightly says: “Zara num
ho tou ya matee bohat zarqez hai saqee”
We are writing history in the support also, our national players making the
“World Records” with their unbeatable strength and professionalism like Jahangir
Khan, Jan Shair Khan (unbeaten squash champion), Imran Khan (Famous Kerctor),
Suhail Abbas ( National Hockey Player), Muhammad Amer ( Light weight Champion),
Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi ( tennis legend )
We are embarrassing our name on the forehead of the history in IT field,
education, technology, social work and many other fields. Continue.......
