ISLAMABAD: Allama Iqbal was a towering philosopher who derived vision and force from his strong faith and sent a universal message of hope and vision to the entire humanity, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) Secretary General Mushahid Hussain Syed said on Wednesday.

Addressing the participants of a seminar held to commemorate the 72nd death anniversary at the PML House, Mushahid said Iqbal had a strong conviction and faith in Islam and this very force gave him future enlightenment and foresight.

“Today, the Pakistani nation is fighting the emerging challenges with the force they have driven from the philosophy of Iqbal,” he said.

“We have taken up all the issues boldly and we are reflecting the aspirations of the entire nation. The way forward for Pakistan is linked with the PML who is working vigorously for the cause of the common man without the discrimination of language, caste or creed,” he asserted.

Secretary Finance Imtyaz Ranjha said no party, except the PML, had remembered the poet of the nation, Iqbal on his death anniversary.

Deputy Secretary Information Ghulam Mustafa Malik said irrespective of the fact that the country was facing challenges; the country had achieved a lot during the past 63 years.

Additional Secretary General Dr Mohammed Amjad said due to the achievements of Pakistan, the entire Muslim Ummah was looking towards Pakistan for guidance. Pir Fayyaz Shah, Arzoo Kazmi, Rizwan Sadiq, Fauzia Naz, Raja Imtiaz and Sardar Gulfraz also addressed the seminar.
