KARACHI: Chairperson of Hamdard Pakistan, Sadia Rashid in a statement has said that Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said was the torch-bearer of the movement of “27th Ramazan – Independence Day of Pakistan”.

He started this movement in 1973 in order to re-create the passion, enthusiasm and sincerity of the Pakistan Movement in the Pakistani nation. Hamdard has been taking forward this movement so that the nation should not forget the significance of the day of 27th Ramazan 1366 Hijri (14th August 1947) a country gifted by Allah, Al-Mighty.

Pakistan is faced with many challenges. But Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said was confident that Pakistan, being a nation, born in the blessed night of Lailat al-Qadr, has the capabilities to overcome all impediments coming in its way of progress and prosperity.

“I appeal to the nation to pray for peace and unity of the country in the blessed night of 27th of Ramazan as the need of national unity is felt as much today as was never before. While praying in the sacred moments of Lailat al-Qadr, let us resolve to work together to make our homeland a haven of peace, prosperity and progress,” she concluded.—PR
