RAWALPINDI,July 31(UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 31st Jul, 2017 ) : The 124th birth anniversary of Madar-e-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah was observed here on Monday with a pledge to continue her mission.
A function was held at Anjuman Faiz ul islam organized by "Jinnah Thinkers Forum". Speaking on the occasion, chief guest Senator Raja Zafar ul Haq said "we must follow the great struggle the Muslim women of Indian sub-continent undertook".
He said the way Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah stood beside her brother Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah during the entire freedom movement was an example of perseverance and steadfastness.
Raja said from her struggle "we draw lessons of sacrifice, and unconditional support for a noble cause".
He said "we should recommit ourselves to achieving a Pakistan as envisioned by our founding father". President Anjuman Faiz ul Islam Mian Siddiq Akbar speaking on the occasion said Fatima Jinnah worked side by side with Quaid-e-Azam and gathered women of the sub-continent on one platform, who struggled for a separate state for the Muslims.
Fatima had campaigned for democracy during her life and was committed for a democratic set up in the country, he added. APP/tah/sh/kmd � 16:47/16:55/16:55
