Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has called for making Pakistan a cradle of peace, political forbearance and brotherhood according to the vision of great poet philosopher Allama Muhammad Iqbal.

In a message on the observance of 86th death anniversary of Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the Prime Minister said Allama Iqbal taught the youth to wage consistent struggle and exhorted them to carve paths in the future through knowledge and research.

Shehbaz Sharif said Iqbal’s philosophy of selfhood (Khudi) was a beacon of light for all and by emulating his philosophy, the exquisite qualities of mankind could be achieved.
