23 March
Pakistan Resolution Day, 23rd March 1940, is one of the most significant and
instrumental days in the history of Pakistan. This is a day to remember the struggles undertaken
by the Muslim leaders of the subcontinent. Today, the citizens of modern-day Pakistan
commemorate this day to immortalize its significance and value in their history.
Respected Teachers and All my Fellows:
After the Lahore resolution was passed, Quaid e Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah became
the most important Muslim leader of the whole subcontinent. Muslims recognized Quaid as the
shepherd that will lead the Muslims to their own separate nation. He became a nationwide
inspiration for Muslim to wake up from their reveries of a sunken past and begin striving for
complete and total independence from the Hindus and the British.
Mr. President:
Pakistan Resolution, passed in Minto Park of Lahore, gave Muslims a rational, reachable
and desirable goal: the creation of Pakistan. It served to release the fire of Independence in the
hearts of the Muslims, who were all eager to make their contribution in achieving a free Muslim
state, Pakistan.
That day, Quaid-e-Azam provided Muslims with a clear-cut and well-defined goal that
was understood even by the simplest and most naive of Muslim minds. The call to
independence was answered by a unanimous awakening that altered the course of history, and
the geographic structure of the subcontinent.
When we look back at 23rd March speech of our Quaid Muhammad Ali Jinnah, we are
reminded of the fact that it was this day that the great nation we live in today was created in
the minds of our forefathers.
In the ending lines, I would like to urge all Pakistanis to remember the spirit, the message
of 23rd March 1940 when our forefathers vowed to achieve Pakistan, a separate country for
Muslims. Now it becomes our responsibility to be united, serve and save Pakistan.

Thank you.
