KARACHI: Landhi Town chairman Abdul Jameel Khan hoisted the national flag at the town’s central office on Independence Day and later attended a ceremony organized by the Landhi Town education department.

Khan said Independence Day was not only a day for celebration but also an opportunity to renew the commitment to Pakistan’s progress, prosperity, stability and security.
He called for unity, discipline, honesty and hard work to be made guiding principles for building a stronger and more prosperous country. He particularly urged young people to focus on education and play an active role in national development.
The Landhi Town chairman said people should set aside their differences and work together for Pakistan’s unity, progress and dignity, describing this as the best way to honour the sacrifices of those who helped create the country.
He added that Pakistan’s younger generation was its most valuable asset and stressed the need to promote patriotism, national awareness and positive thinking among young people so they could help build a stronger and more developed country.
