He pointed out that political stability is crucial for social stability and national progress. “The strength of politics lies in its diversity, and achieving political stability is essential for ensuring societal growth and development,” he stated.
Pro Vice Chancellor GCUF, Prof Dr Nasir Amin, and Chairman of the Department of Pakistan Studies, Prof Dr Abdul Qadir Mushtaq, also spoke at the occasion. They highlighted the historical significance of the Lahore Resolution and reflected on contemporary challenges facing Pakistan.
