Speaking to the participating Students from the Jamia Gulzar-E-Habib, Dar-ul-Aloom Siddiquia, Jamia Madrassa-al-Hira, Makki Madressa Eidgah and Madrassa Rizwia Jatlan, Intikhab Alam elaborated on Pakistan’s National Identity and its ideological roots, emphasizing the two-nation theory was a foundational concept behind creation of the separate homeland.
He further stated that the two-nation theory asserts that Muslims and Hindus under British rule constituted two distinct nations, each characterized by its own religion, cultural heritage and way of life.
He highlighted the importance of a strong military particularly in prevailing global landscape, where countries without robust Armed Forces not only come under the influence of foreign powers but are falling into the hands of hostile states and being left at their mercy.
He also stressed that the Armed Forces of Pakistan are playing pivotal role in protecting national sovereignty and maintaining territorial integrity, while also shedding light on the persistent challenges involved in securing the borders.
He honoured the unparalleled commitment and sacrifices of the officers and soldiers who remain ever vigilant in safeguarding every inch of the beloved Homeland.
The General Officer advised the youth about the dangers of misinformation and media manipulation particularly from hostile states seeking to destabilize minds. He urged the youth to critically evaluate all information before accepting it.
